    Re: Todays Bike Ride

    Lovely ride with Steve last night, when the rain storms cleared and the sun came out... into the Llanthony Valley, Fforest Coalpit, Llanbedr, Crickhowell, Abergavenny, Pantygelli, Llanthony Valley, back home... A few decent hills but not too many, a good ride, even though my quads were uncollaborative

    I fear the worst for my TT tonight though, it is blowing a bit of a gale and raining and my quads feel awful!

    It was a simple idea... Put two bikes in a car, drive to the garage a few miles from work, leave car and cycle in alongside the Trent.

    Absolutely pissed it down and my mate got a puncture after a mile.

    Oh dear Dom...

    It is awful here too, so I drove in, apart from the fact that I took the training bike to the LBS this morning to have < whispers > a compact fitted for the TdG...

    TT tonight, and it is blowing a gale and raining AND my quads are screaming at me...

    Wuss... tighten the bolts occasionally and that won't happen...

    I recieved two titanium bottle cages today, they are dead cool and super light and match the bike

    Re: Todays Bike Ride

    Tuesday club ride today was out via a convoluted route to not so sunny Cleveleys by the sea. Cleveleys was full of old dears, as was the cafe at the top of the main street. A very good value fish & chips & pot of tea preceded a very wet but warm return journey. Very slow on the way out and a little more frisky on the way home. 76 miles and a tad under 18 average.
