Keeping with the off-road malarky, 18 miles on the MTB, some road, some canal bank and a stretch of bridleway. Trying to fathom out how long it'd take me to get to work by bike, which would be 28 in total - 13 mile canal, 9 mile road, 5 mile river bank. Not this week though!
Still my favourite bike of the collection!
Little jaunt on the x-bike... hard getting up the hill, then decided to go streight over the top and back down on the road, as the legs felt too tired after the run and the weekends bike racing... It was supposed to be recovery, so there
Scary stuff, going downhill... brrrrr....
Much more so than on a 'normal' bike Han - I didn't have the lid on this aft as it was just a bimble out but in retrospect was not the best idea!Originally Posted by Hanneke
Mine was also just a bimble and I normally don't wear a helmet, but decided to do so on this occasion...

You should always wear a helmet to protect your pretty head, i always wear one cos i don't want to get any uglier
I hate them Merry...
I was thinking about you on the way home... You have done 3 Peaks Cyclocross race haven't you? Is it very scary? I really thought what I was doing was pretty hairraising and riding down the hill was even slower than going up it, because of the steepness and roughness of the path...
I used to ride sans lid all the time but several guys in the club had offs and 1 lad got clipped with a car and landed on a kerb head first (wearing lid). His lid was mashed but he was OK(ish). Decided to get one after that. I also have a good dint in mine after my incident last Spring . Does feel good without though
You'll have to wear one on that, i'm afraid, it's the law, it's as scary as you make it
