Sorry rodders it was a dig at emmas bike. Yes know Dolan bikes very well. You pass Stoke on Trent and they are everywhere. Mr Boardman did very well off Terry's bikes. They are class products but I suppose Im a bit steel tubing biased and Dolan has gone the carbon route.
The pink Dolan is well known on the forum and Emma is a very fast roadwoman. I rode 42miles last night at 20mph and got talking to a lady bikie who I pulled back to Ambergate, Ive seen her before and she did a couple of pulls at the front. She clearly was finding it tough going on the hills but stuck at it. I asked how hard it was for her.
The reply
" Ive had 2 x children, riding a bike doesnt come close". I was impressed at that one. Suddenly the ache of being on a racing saddle didnt seem too bad
Sadly I think because of time commitments a lot of woman struggle to find time to train. Running is a more time friendly sport.
