anyone logged a shorter ride than the 1.8km i did yesterday?

This morning I rode from my garage, down the drive before the rear tyre exploded. I pushed the bike back so I could log 5 metres. Probably will not bother though. :smile:[/quote]

I managed to get 200meters into my homeward commute yesterday before a puncture stopped me. Not quite as impressive as Stevevw's 5m though:ohmy:.

Learnt an important lesson though - it all very well having a p*-repair kit, spare tube and tools in the saddle bag on *my* bike - but on days when I take the wifes trike and do the playschool run, I've nothing useful in my rucksac.:biggrin:

well, I'm going to miss target by miles now, bit of an injury/saddle sore, caused by seatpost moving at wrong time, so rest required.

Sorry to hear that. I will also be short of my target as on Friday I shall be letting a doctor with a sharp knife loose on the dangly bits :ohmy:xx( There shall be no more little FFFF's :tongue:

Ha Ha - you have already cycled further than my year's target!!! I don't know how you manage it. I'm impressed.

I logged one of half a mile (up and down the road outside my house:blush:) - which was the first one after I broke my arm... I wanted to record my progress as I attempted to push through the pain and the fact I couldn't brake or change gear etc. I logged each ride and what I could do on the bike each time.

I've got a sharp knife:biggrin:

Thankfully I seem to be healing up ok, planning a trot out later today to ensure all ok. Also have a Brooks B17 coming:ohmy: could be in a kill or cure mold. Amazing the damage that a slight twist and drop on a saddle, coupled with hitting some potholes, can do.

I do wonder though, I keep using plenty of chamois cream, but can that have a negative? ie does it keep skin soft where you want it toughening up?

You been yet? Do not worry (too much) it is not as bad as people make out. I would stay off the bike and the nest for a week or so though.

My ever loving wife bought the operation for my birthday 20 odd years ago ;) I on the other hand would have been happy with a Birthday cake.

you should have done what someone of my acquaintance did: went to the doctor and said "my wife wants me to have a vasectomy…". they sent him packing…

All done, I was in and out within 90 mins and it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be :biggrin: Can't say I intend going near the bike for at least a week or two though :sad:
