Looking at Strava I was actually nearly 3hrs 40 moving. Only just beat a 7 year old, but a wins a win. That reminded me that I cycled the last 8 or so miles with a guy, who when at the road up to the finish line challenged me to a sprint finish. Hope his pride recovers as quickly as his legs

I heard there was a serious accident there on the radio this morning, hope whoever it is has a speedy recovery
Help!!!
Is there anyone in the Falkirk area with a reasonable degree of knowledge about road bikes prepared to meet up somewhere and show me how to work this b****y thing !?
Just picked up my Whyte Suffolk today and after a break neck, uncomfortable 1/2 hour round Denny I'm having a hard time believing I've made the right decision.
Took me ages to work out the gears, couldn't for the life of me get used to clips on the pedals (had to stop and remove one so I didn't die!) I've no idea if the seat is at the right height and consequently don't know if my back, body is at right angle. It was hurting my back, I was getting hacked off because I didn't know how it was supposed to feel - what I do know is if you all were as uncomfortable as that you simply wouldn't be on road bikes. I must be doing something wrong - or more likely several things wrong!!
Every bump in the road absolutely killed the crown jewels!!!!!
The bike itself seemed rattly - I'm thinking perhaps that could be the pannier and/or the mudguards - I just don't know!!!
I could meet up with someone from about 7pm, you could have a wee shot, maybe give a brief tutorial, tell me what it's supposed to be like

Doesn't sound like its way it on size, what pedals are you using? So I know if it's worth bringing my shoes to have a go
