Pretty new to this bike business but went out for 25m around Kendal and Sedbergh this morning. Really enjoyed it and spent quite a while afterwards looking at the OS map planning future trips into the dales on the new bike. Think I might have been bitten by the bug:thumbup:
Just done a 25mile time trial with Kent Valley Road club in Kendal tonight. 1st 25 since 1982 and after a total of 200 miles this year was please to do it in 1hr 8mins but cant walk now!!
15 miles home from work 55 mins fantastic! but now feel like i have slept with Village people, in a drug fueled night of lust!
Because you have! Why do you think we love cycling so much here?
You are loving the new bike then?

11 miles from Shap to work at Penrith and same back.
Buley to Saltaire. 3 pints of Golden Pippin & 1 Black & Tan. Then on the canal to The Fishermans for another pint. Up to The Busfield Arms for another pint of something. Then the tortuous climb up to Keighley Gate & fast descent down in to Ilkley for a pint of Ilkley Stout in Bar T'at. All finished off with a fantastic curry in Kiplings in Ilkley & the train back. A great night.
25k recovery ride this morning, spinning the legs tried to cadence at around 100 and Hr below 75%.
Managed both and used every gear on the bike, the head wind and 400m of acent made slow going up but I averaged 38kph on the last 10k of down with a tail wind.
Legs appear to be back working again after yesterday's Kirby Gala (BOFRA) outing.
