CYCLOGS

[Sittingduck]

After a 2 week enforced lay-off, I'm back up and running again.

The Dun Run has given me a good start, and with a new saddle due in a couple of day, I hope to put a bit a bit of pressure on the leaders......well perhaps not the leaders, but maybe get near the front of the peloton

Your ass was that sore after the Dun Run huh?

2 weeks till I can start putting some miles in properly again...
Getting really panicky as I have a fast twitch triathlon 23rd of August and I am seriously unfit

Anyway set myself a few targets which cyclogs should be able to help with:
-ironman70.3 before this time next year
-Cat 2 by this time next year
-sub 23 10mile TT by this time next year
-bring above the knee high shorts back into fashion after gaining thighs the size of footballs

.....all will be very hard to acheive, but so long as I put the miles in and keep logging on cyclogs then I reckon I can do them....


Anyway until then it is back to basics and learning how to clip in again......

Did you get Yenrods Recommendation the Selle Hybrid?
I tell you mate, it's a very good, comfy saddle... zero chaffing on a 100 mile ride...

a new saddle due in a couple of day,

Looks like they didn't buy quite enough extra server space

Dang, you're right, it's fallen over again

Working for me. Just logged my rides from the intermission, jumping from 61st (!) to 21st position. Twenty frickin first, for 100+ miles a week. When did we all become mile eaters?

Don't forget the Dun Run was the first weekend this month A nice mileage boost for the mere mortals on here

Yes it's back for me again now. Just in passing I've been logging a few with the Nokia Sports Tracker also, if you have the kit already it's pretty good for a freebie, lots of details in there:

There are still some kinks, the distance disagreed with my computer by 3/4 of a mile, will have to wait and see how much of an issue that becomes.

Well...

When I was up in Norfolk a couple of weeks ago with my bike I decided to meet up with a couple of CycleChatters; I saw Will1985 at a café for tea and cake and had a great plan to cycle to Norwich to bump into HeartAttack in the hopes that he could teach me how to ride faster!

Unfortunately HeartAttack was busy selling his special chocolates at the Royal Norfolk Show and so we didn't ever meet... but look what arrived in the post this morning:

The camera phone has made it look a bit more shiny and less chocolatey than it is, but it looks fantastic in real life and I am sure will taste even better! Even if it's a normal bike and not a recumbent trike

I look forward to eating it in due course - rumour has it it may increase my average speed from 11.5mph to 19mph...

Hi all,

Just started commuting and have been adding my stats to the site. Do I have to join the team and if so how do I do it??

Thanks for the info

Hi,

Got a pleasant suprise added my stats and came in at 41!! Will I be able to stay there??? Will wait and see

 

[Auntie Helen]

You wait, MancRider78; you'll be dragging yourself out of bed at an unearthly hour to do a quick 10 miles to leapfrog ahead of the person just above you; you'll be taking the long route home on a regular basis to keep your position; you'll find reasons to use the bike you never previously had... (the voice of experience)

 

[MancRider78]

Yup just noticed this today when I had slipped down to 44, not any more though!!

Still not finished riding yet either!!
