Why ?? What's he done now ???

 

[Rasmus]

What you doing today ? ???

Rest day

Might turn into a rest weekend considering the weather forecast...

Grrr!!! Stupid me...!

I decided the cycle paths seemed in a reasonable state when out running at lunchtime, so went for a wee loop on the evening commute.

Bike now completely ganked up to %^&* in grit and cack, and a nice puncture in the near zero wind chill thanks to a big splinter of bottle glass.
Hadn't been using the paths for the past few months... and won't be again for a while after tonight.

Thanks Don't think i will be doing as much next month, maybe extra on the commute but going out at night is just madness

Great , that'll stop you from catching up on me too much on MCL ... rest as much as you like .
Seriously, well done! If you do that sort of mileage every month, you'll need to revise your target...

Agh, just read about your off, @mr messy. What a horrid thing to happen
Get well soon, dude. I would concur with others that you definitely need to get the headaches investigated as a matter of priority.

I'll PM you with a quick thought based upon my prior experience with insurance companies and incident reports.

P.S. @Scoosh why do my watched threads keep stop giving me notifications when they've been updated? Is there any way to stop that happening?

Feeling better today, splitting headache finally dying down though now realise both my wrists and knees are sore....win some lose some

 

[Telemark]

Funny (as in strange , not ) how the body works, if one part is REALLY hurting, you don't notice the next worst stuff so much - maybe for the best . As they say, a change is as good as a rest ... Take it easy!

Jazloc beat you to it !

If that doesn't answer your question, post it in the Site Support section.

Maybe in the better weather but I've been doing too much, pretty much done most of the challenge in 2 weeks, I make it about 230 miles in they two weeks

am I wrong in being annoyed when out cycling with a friend, that every time we go out they disappear into distance for miles at a time? social rides aint for chasing every strava segment imho , especially in this weather

and the Cube rides like a dream. switching gears is soo much easier on 105 than sora

It depends on the people and the purpose of the ride. The CC Ecosse ethos of "no-one left behind" works well for larger groups of varying ability and in reasonable weather, like on the Perth ride.
When two friends and I (one a non-cyclist on a tank bike, the other a triathlete on a road bike) did the five ferries challenge, the triathlete would ride off into the distance, so I accompanied the non-cyclist to make sure that he didn't get dropped.

I miss riding my Focus. The Triban is a poor substitute, particularly where gearing is concerned.

We just had Arran cheese for our lunch and were thinking of you lot (especially the AAs*)... we earned it the hard way, cycling back from the market into horizontal sleet

its only the two of us going out. iv stressed my annoyance at it before, but its changing nothing. think we have a Froomes naivety clashing with my Wiggins style and traditional notions problem
