    Re: Todays Bike Ride

    Been to the track this morning for a couple of hours, it HURT! Now feeling shattered, so unfit, but not too disappointed about my flying 500 time. I started off really well, but then died the second half of the last lap... Still, not too bad considering

    Was the windiest/wettest journey home from work for months. Wind brought me to a complete standstill going uphill at one point. Felt like someone had a hosepipe on my face, feet took a couple of hours to warm up. It's only 6 miles! Happy Days

    Well today I managed my slowest ever time cycling to work and my fastest ever time cycling back home.

    I wonder why that was?!

    Stagger, Hann. Doubt i'd be out on the bike normally but using it for work means i have to see it through. None of them car drivers have made resolutions to give cyclists more room in 2012 though:angry:

    Great efforts Steve and Nelly.

    I thought I had just done good with 45mins (longest time ever) on the rollers.

    Listening to the rain lash the windows I was thinking "no one would be daft enough to cycle in this".

    I come up and look at this thread and find I'm a softee and there are nutcases on public roads.

    Message to self:-
    Must try harder to get out on bike.
