Show us your.......newbie progress! [4 Sep 2012 - 4 Oct 2014]

I love riding up hill on quiet roads. Just not on busy roads! Planning on taking the spare female vintage bike down to the lbs later to get some new innertubes.

Definitely quiet hilly roads!

Hope you enjoyed it. Fab weather wasn't it?

It was lovely, the highlight was the quiet country roads. wide country roads, almost pothole free country roads, country roads...... country roads!!!!

Me too now (though it took me a while!). Love the feeling of plugging away steadily in a low gear, then standing up, whacking the gears up a few notches and really going for it out of the saddle. Brilliant.

Just read b'twin are releasing their new Tribans sometime this month, hence the Triban 3 has gone down to £249 till the end of this month.

The 3 will be replaced by the 300, weighing only 10.4kg with micro shift group set. £369.

The 5 will be replaced by the 500 and also (exclusively in the UK) the 500SE, weighing in at 9.6kg with Sora group set. £469.

Impressive weights for the much loved entry level bikes. May have to take my friend along to Decathlon...

Hi all
I am now back on the internet properly, so will be able to sed better messages again, not the short ones I have been posting from the phone (and where the phone's spellchecker frequently mangled the message)

Strava has my rides now uploaded

@Stonechat Glad you have got it sorted out. Hate to say it, but the internet is the one thing I really wouldn't like to do without. I could live without a telly no problem but not my internet. Lol

Hope the flooding situation is getting better and things are drying out now.

 

[Stonechat]

Well it's likely to be 6 months before we are back home

Gosh, didn't think it would be so long. Sorry to hear that.

 

[L14M]

Weather is nice, plan to put the tyre bak on and enjoy a hilly ride over the private roads again

And another lunch time works run: http://ridewithgps.com/trips/2302449

It's amazing how knackering some mud and a good hill can be!

I hope that you are back in sooner rather than later @Stonechat as it would appear that spring arrived today & what better way to celebrate than with a ride & a chin wag with a mate.

You really can notice the difference with clipless pedals.
