You generally log your mileage on whichever bike you are riding , may l ask which piece of equipment you use ? l don't have anything at the moment but l would like to keep a record for each bike, just for interest sake .

32 miles this morning and another enjoyable ride .

Strange how a bike with only a single chain ring can still climb ok .

 

[biggs682]

Thought I would use this machine today only 25 miles but very enjoyable ones .

Just back from an 11.5 mile pre work ride first double figure ride on any bike for over a week and i chose this great bike to do it on , and after 2 miles i remembered why it was bought to be my ' winter ' bike plus the fact it rides so smoothly

Im having withdrawal symptoms about not being on a bike for just over a week due to awful weather .... it has rained most days and then frozen overnight, result black ice on all of the roads around here. Just not worth the risk .
