CYCLOGS

[Aperitif]

What cakes?

 

[arallsopp]

LOL.

Securing one should have been a cakewalk for a beefcake like you.

...and you could have grabbed me one whilst you were at it.

Selfish boy.

 

[Auntie Helen]

...and you could have grabbed me one whilst you were at it.

Is this some kind of euphemism of which I was previously unaware?

 

[arallsopp]

Ah... this explains why after myriad shared rides and invites, you never have. Thank god. Thought for a minute I was ugly or something.

 

[Auntie Helen]

You're a fine figure of a man, Arallsopp, as I'm sure you've been told. Especially in Lycra at Hyde Park Corner in the dead of night.

*mops brow*

Are turbo trainer rides allowed?

 

[ianrauk]

Yes, but not exactly in the spirit of fairplay imho.

Perhaps you can start a seperate Cycle Chat Turbo Trainer rides group.

Are turbo trainer rides allowed?

 

[aJohnson]

Ok I'll probably not log my turbo trainer rides then.

 

[GrasB]

Talking about the spirit of fair play would it be fair to add a 10.5km 900m descent ride without the original climb?

 

[Garz]

Would it be fair to class a treadmill run in the same light GrasB? After all you havnt technically moved from the same spot, factored in no wind or temperature changes and the belt aids ever so slightly in moving!

It's still counted as training, granted, but why would you cyclogs it when you technically didnt go 'for a ride'?

Let's do a 10 mile TT for the local club and just show them your stats from spinning in the living room claiming the top spot..

 

[Davidc]

A turbo trainer is just a form of exercise bike. No relationship to real road riding in the sense of cyclogs miles. As said above no wind, no duff surfaces, no night time riding with lights and so on.

I can't see any justifiation for entering it.

Garz, What happened was my partner drove to a near by village, at the bottom of the valley, to meet with some friends & by the time she wanted to come back she was rather drunk. Cue me, who was sober, pelting down the road on my bike to retrieve her & the car. I rode the descent, I simply never rode the corresponding ascent.

 

[ianrauk]

it's still a bike ride in my book..

Autumn must have arrived, I have noticed that the average speeds of folk have dropped. Mine has due to the pitch black and colder weather in the mornings.

 

[GrasB]

I've been riding in the dark for ages now & my average is going up at the moment, it's starting to cool down & I can ride faster when a little bit cold. It's when frosts hit I start to slow down.
