You must pack yours better than me I can't seem to fit all that in. Is yours the large or medium? I really like them as well.

I can get all that and some lunch and arm warmers leg/leg warmers, so must be about the same size.

No ride today yet, the weather was terrible this morning. Then it was lovely sunshine so I went into town to pick up my new chain from the post office collections place. I then fitted it but half way through it hammered down with rain and it looks like it might again. I hope its ok later as I want to go out just to check this new chain I have fitted is ok as it's the first time I've ever done it!

Yeah mine wasnt full, and I hadnt opened the zip on the middle extension part either.

Ahhh. I just have the medium. May eventually get the large at some point then as it seems to take a bit more. Thanks.

I have the same one and it is jam packed with stuff I hopefully will never use.

I have the medium and manage fine with a tube etc with the expander unzipped.

Talking of storage I just took delivery of my new frame bag today which sits on the top tube I will update with pictures when I get 5 mins. It's the one with the clear see through top section so you can use your phone when ridding which is the reason why I got it. I plan to use my phone with extended battery as a sat nav for new routes or when I get lost.

Yippee! Got out twixt us beating Villa and the FA Cup Final - I am on half time nibbles duty though which is a bummer!

Short ride - 7.51m / 14.95 av' which is my quickest av' yet.

If I worked to 1 decimal place that would have been 15mph! Bit desperate I know.....

Hope you are all having a triff weekend.

After having had 4 weeks out as my L4 disc once again slightly slipped out of place in my spine, 7.5 miles in 33 mins 40 secs with no back pain did me just fine on a blustry but dry morning.

 

[DaveyM]

BOOM!
60 miles!.

Had a nice ride into Newcastle, then did a Sky ride along the Tyne and back then cycled back home. It was a little windy at times and the sky ride was really slow, however, met some really nice people...got to enjoy the view...great day out all things considered.

By the way I now officially LOVE my bike

 

[DaveyM]

Forgot to mention I am now aiming to finish in the top 100 on my cycle log. There are one or two familiar names within striking distance now

Be affraid !

 

[Phoenix Lincs]

Wish if gone out when I first woke up when the wind wasn't so powerful, but planning a 60miler meant I felt I ought to eat a good breakfast first.

Anyway, I managed it!

Had an hour's kip this afternoon and feeling like it will soon be bedtime, but at least I've made progress

Well done, but if you had done another 3/10ths of a mile you would have had a metric hundred.

 

[Phoenix Lincs]

I've just said that exact thing to my hubby. But never mind, focussing on the positive, I planned a 60 and did it

Or maybe I should get the bike back out and add .3m to it - or NOT. Pooped.com

Just ask someone.

Should you have mentioned that Chris.
