Request sent to you Dave...
You can do a ride for me today , hissing it down and i am having a fettle morning while the wife + kids are out .So far..........Sent a Strava follow request @Big_Dave and @cyberknight. You're both reasonably near so when I start cycling further I can steal your routes.

Installed new mech hanger on commuter
Reindexed gears on commuter
Installed new chain on the nice bike
Changed stem on nice bike
Added some new stickers on nice bike to hide some chips in the paint
Weighed both bikes just for fun
Having a cuppa before i tidy up or i will get told off when swmbo sees bikes in the house
Bit of a slow week for me , took 3 days off work so no commuting and ended up doing jobs round the house rather than riding .
I wimped out of commuting home at 3 am , took the car to work at that well known car factory as the weather man said it was gonna pee it down for the home commute and guess what ? no rain at that time .I took a look out the window this morning at about 7, sunrise was casting that nice red glow but the wind sounded fierce and then ten minutes later it had all disappeared into grey and it poured, so the fair weather cyclist in me decided no cycle route stealing today!
Sods law is if you had took the bike, the rain gods would have spotted you and it would have pee'd it downI wimped out of commuting home at 3 am , took the car to work at that well known car factory as the weather man said it was gonna pee it down for the home commute and guess what ? no rain at that time .
Following you fella but how the heckers do I get people to follow me? (not that I'm that interesting)I was wondering if the users of the Beginners section of cycle chat would like to follow each others progress on Strava, I don't have any friends that cycling so would be great to follow some of you guys (& gals)
My Strava link >>http://www.strava.com/athletes/bigdave<<
Please ensure you privacy exclusion zone is set around your house (and work if you commute)
Done
if you start to follow people, then they might follow you back if they want to.Following you fella but how the heckers do I get people to follow me? (not that I'm that interesting)
The problem is that unscrupulous people can see where you park your nice, maybe very valuable bike. IIRC similar sites may have been used to do just that. >
