Today's Bike Ride

[dominion]

I've never understood women on horses. They wave but they don't talk.

And I never understand how you tell what model of horse they have or the size


Is it likes bikes. Are you on a size 53 palamino mrs

Well... 5.2 hands to be precise...

80 miles yesterday and I only nearly fell off twice. Just twitching into the few little bits of snow left on the a6 . A couple of hairy moments but still a good ride and it wasn't to cold.
I only noticed one other roadie out there was hoping for the same again today but it's to frosty for sure this morning.

On the final climb of the day which is bath street through ilkeston one of my work mates shouted me and said get your arse moving. I shouted back vie just done 80 miles. He just laughed as he came out of mcdonalds. I could have just eaten a big Mac though.
I love it when people give you that , your nuts look.

Well while I'm out there doing it they are probably wandering around b&q all weekend. Your only here once I say and if you do it right once is enough.

Now I'd better clean that bike

[daz h]

Oh and a little tip
Remember the skewer in your frame for when your cleaning your chain so it saves the chain catching on the frame as you turn the pedals.
Well fear not as pedros have come out with a chain catcher to do the job.

Now why didn't I think of that.

Good riding Mr Dazzler. Just back from falling down some ski slopes without damage (to myself). Work intervened today so had to be content with lycra watch and a single spin session, need to get out for a ride this week to work off the apres-ski

Ta toffer.
Good luck on getting out


Had weekly shop to do tonight but I managed 80 mins on the rollers . The last 20 of which my neighbour stood there watching me. Not good when your hanging on and sweat is everywhere. He was actually asking me questions about what setting I have the central heating on etc etc. I nearly died.
He eventually buggered off when I climbed off the bike.

Then went shopping and got the dreaded, unexpected item in the bagging area woman telling me.


So tonight I've had unexpected neighbour in the shed and unexpected item in the bagging area. Arghhhhhhhhhhh

Daz, do you earth yourself on the rollers or take the static shocks?

Fell donkey I get a shock every time I go on them to be honest. I forget and about 15 mins in if go to just have a second I usually touch my roll cab tool box and it zaps me.
I vow to bloody do something each time but always forget then all of a sudden winter is over.
It happened tonight. Did 70 minutes but had to have dance music on all the way. Was a slog.
So no mate I don't earth.

But you do get static indeed

It's the bloody awful self service checkouts. I walked down to Morrisons tonight and had to get the stupid thing cleared twice because it can't cope with me using a rucksack.

I haven't been on rollers in years, takes a lot concentration to stay on there for 70 minutes, I'm surprised you don't corrode your bike with all that sweat!

I wonder how much static electricity you generate on them? There must be a way to test it, who knows with this crap weather and the amount of riding you do, you could start feeding it back into the grid!!!

I used to run a cable with two crocodile clips from my bike to my dad'd vice on his work bench, did the job pretty well.
