Hmmm, I think it might be something to do with all these lazy feckers that buy them and then leave them in the garage and take the car when their little legs get tired.
That is a good walking pace. I only get up to about 3.5 MPH.Not sure if the wind is as strong as predicted. Just saw my neighbour getting back with his bike and felt slightly guilty.......but not guilty enough to go and get mine out.
Enjoyed a nice brisk walk. Stats for Nigel 4.32miles in I hour 1minute and 1second, pace 14.07 mins per mile according to mapmywalk, so a bit of a power walk as I think the average walking pace is about 18minute miles. Could be wrong.
We have them Rocky, not very common though, come knocking at the door once in a while, not going to get into religion, as I respect people beliefs to much, but just to say, that I am sure that when some leave here they must be questioning their faithThe only cyclist I saw riding today were a couple of Mormon guys. Not sure if you have them over there but it is a Religion. The males at about 19 or 20 years old or so I guess, go out on bicycles and spread the word about their religion. They are very polite and seem like nice guys but I got up out of the saddle and pedaled my ass off as fast as I could when I saw them.
it means I can add these from my iPad and not have to fire up the old and tired laptop 
I was wondering what happened to you. Hope they are gloves to keep your fingers warm as well.Contemplating going out for a little spin while the sun is out. Just noticed the new layout in the typing box. Woo hoo
I've just ordered another pair of my favourite shorts as my bones complained a bit the other day when I wore my cheaper version. Also ordered new gloves to see if I can alleviate the need to keep shaking my hands around like a wally to get comfortable.
Catch you all later folks, taking me a while to catch up on everybody's amazing progress as I've not been on for a bit
Yep. That will be yet another thing to research before long after last winter's struggle to keep my hands warm. Wish everything for cyclists wasn't so blooming expensive! I thought maybe these gloves with the lobster type fingers might be warmer.
At least we know the garmins are upto the job, I remember getting back one night and I was sure there was more snow on the bike than the roads, built up around the brakes under the guards collected on the spokes (fewer of them this year) the bike must have doubled its weight, no wonder I was slower on these days.
I am ready for winter. I bought everything I thought I might need at the end of last winter. I am buying spring gear now.
Going to load up on some fingerless gloves and get another sleeveless jersey or two soon. I just need to figure out when the best time to buy tires and tubes is.
I am ready too, just better things I could get still. Mind you not much on the bike needs doing now, new shifters still, but what I have works, a new rear mech would be nice, and some new bar tape.I am ready for winter. I bought everything I thought I might need at the end of last winter. I am buying spring gear now.
Trying not to be disappointed, but focus on the fact I burnt more calories than I would have sitting on my bum
This is really what it's about, and having a better overall fitness level.@Nigelnaturist
I've ordered fingerless for the minute. My winter ones are sealskins and are pretty good, but my summer ones don't seem to have the padding in the right place. I must do some more core strength work to keep my weight in my back end, rather than on my hands though
Nice ride out today. My intention was to have another go at staying in Zone 2 but I had to speed up for some traffic and thought, hey, go for it. Felt quick and good, but no PRs or anything today
Have a great day folks
