glorious weather will manage a short one to check out me and the bike

Good to see you jumping straight back on.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Went out for the first time since late August when my knee started giving me jip, was given a knee strap and went out on a pootle to Kingston and back with @themosquitoking & partner. Didn't feel any twitches but will have to go easy and monitor it. Felt great to be back on the bike even if it was just leg spinning really. Awesome weather for it too. Really enjoyable little ride.

Hello stranger and back

 

[Stonechat]

Well visited some shops and fixed some minor rubbing against the mudguard
Unfortunately occupied this afternoon or the weather would tempt me more
Still have a stiffness in the left knee - think this predates my mishap
However went well enough, apart from went I went to push harder up a bridge over the motorway, so eased off

After a few days back in the motherland , full to the brim with Guinness it was good to get back on the bike.
Very nice day for it albeit a bit breezy

Just a short loop, forgot to start the Garmin and was interrupted with two phone calls, but at least I am now going to work this afternoon.

OMG. I hope that's dandelion seeds or something blowing about, or it is snowing!

Decided to go for a short fast ride this morning.
My shorter 7.8 mile hilly ride (in my books), I really went for it today and was rewarded with an 18.35 mph avg, the first time I've managed to get over 18 avg.

Move over Brad, I'm coming through

how fast??

 

[BrianEvesham]

I hope it's not Snow for you Mo!
It's too warm for tights here, just a bit overcast and windy.

 

[BrianEvesham]

how fast??

Cheers.
It is only over a short distance though

It's blowing a real gale now so I am hoping it is just seed heads blowing around. Temperature's really dropped drastically. Going to be a cold and windy dog walk this afternoon.

You should be able to set the unit to give audible warnings of movement whilst the unit is paused or stopped. Good news on the work front.

I am a little sore today, after those few little climbs last night.

 

[GreigM]

Got another 20 mile run in this morning, nice and sunny but wind was a bit blustery but enjoyable all the same, not the fastest on 2 wheels but I can certainly feel progress, this was my route - http://www.strava.com/activities/87958448

I cant do that!

Did my usual Weds run to Chertsey. While there got a call from Dad (91 years old) can I come. Unfortunately at his age these are coming too frequently.
I went, he was expecting the Doc, nurse came (for a different issue), About to leave and the Doc came. Unfortuantely I expect more of these.
Went to Chemist and back and then back home
14.5 miles at 12 mph

My knee is still playing up - this dates back to Sun before last. I will have to ease of on cycling to try to improve it. Dog walkng does not help either.
Might get elasticated knee support.
EDIT here is the ride
