definitely not looking lovely outside where I am and it is only going to get worse ... in fact I am quite glad I am indoors at the moment having already been out in it once today!It definitely is Friday, it's just that I've missed having a mid week ride and am feeling it now. Very busy week at work this week. It's looking lovely outside now, but I'm not sure I have the energy.
think Monday is looking likely to be the best day for both of us last time I looked at a forecast! rain tomorrow non-stop I believe!
I rode with the chainset at 26-38-48 last year with a 12-24 7sp for the most part it was ok, the 28-38-50 is just a variation on a 30-39-50 that is common with most modern triples, the 26x24 is lower than my current set up I could go 26-38-48 with 12-13-14-15-16-17-19-21-23 with virtually the same range as I have now which is 29.22-105.2" and the 12-23 26-38-48 would be 29.73-105.2 but a slightly longer middle and outer but each rear gear would be one gear lower so I would be on the 16th opposed to the 17th
Thats not much fun
its not fair that some of us have crap weather, while people like you are all sunshine. Yada yada. and flat land as well.
that is one of the disadvantages of using a bike as your only mode of transport! We only have the one car, my OH was away from home last night and my only way of getting to a hospital appointment was to grin and bear it as they say (hope that is the right bear!) But I have been using my bike as my only form of transport for around 10 years and sometimes you get very very wet.

@welsh dragon I can drive (used to do it for a living) I just cant stand cars as a mode of personal transport any more, I am not anti car as such.
I only have my group on a Friday which is only 5 miles away I do sometimes have errands to run like yesterday to Hemsworth and it invariably rains on that one, the rest of the time I am lucky in I can choose when I ride (with in reason), but I dont let the wind or rain stop me (unless it's dangerous).
I can understand that - I was a company car driver and expected to drive a minimum of 2-3 hours each way everyday. there is only so long you can do that and a full time job as well... One of my regular commutes was from Haslemere, Surrey to Hatfield every day. Almost every single bad junction of the M25 you can imagine! Winter was interesting, I would be getting up at 3:45am to be in Hatfield by 7am in darkness. The building did not have windows and unless I went outside at lunchtime, it was dark by the time I left and I would not be home before 8pm... 5 days a week. That was one of the easier commutes! Haslemere to Swindon was another, as was a weekly Haslemere to Aberdeen! Best thing that happened to me in that job was being made redundant! Since then I have cycled to and from work and used a bike as my main transport despite living rurally.I went to my group and it wasn't on so maybe its not Friday.
