I'm no alcoholic either but if I can't cycle I need some comfort

Morphine, codeine and gabapentin seem to be working wonders on that front!

 

[Stonechat]

Haven't had any alcohol for several years now myself. Used to take the odd drink to be "sociable" before I realised that a) I didn't actually like it and b) my body doesn't like it........used to start feeling rough and develop a headache almost before I had even finished one drink. No intention of ever trying it again........give me a nice cup of tea or coffee instead.

I do like a drop of wine
Have to remember if I am cycling Sunday to scale down drinking Saturday to make sure I am 100% Sunday morning

I got out for a short ride today, because the weather is supposed to better today than tomorrow. It was wet, is all I have to say on the matter.

A new thread I see?



Well i've been a bit ill recently, inundated with school work and just generally busy. I've stopped going out on lesuire cycles and have started riding 25 miles a week only as a commute on the weekend. At least its 25 miles a week. I've also removed my spd's and the commute to go gliding requires getting the train so flats make it much nicer when walking through train stations. I'm going to get a pair of mud guards for my bike to do this through the winter

Wow. That's a hefty average to do over the winter months (well it would be for me anyway).

Its pretty easy mileage for me to be honest, unless there is ice, wind rain seen done it, remember i don't work, so even a dryish hour or so can get 15-20 miles done, didn't go out today since I got up at 3 with little sleep, its different if you get up at three and been in bed a sleep since say nine, there is also a creak I need to sort, I think its the crank bolt coming lose, so I have a bolt one not the hex one i use, I will try that tomorrow. I did a 1,000 miles last Nov/Dec, I don't think I will do that this year though.

A morning ride is a great way to get rid of a hangover

I abstain from alcohol too, but let me tell ya, when I make a cup of tea I leave the tea bag in my pot.

I'm just a street kid who lives for revenge...

Hardcore!

Hardcore!

I'm hoping I'm hardcore too...........toss up between a cycle or a jog this morning. It's gone from being wet yesterday to very cold this morning. Maybe a jog would heat me up better than a cycle.

 

[Mo1959]

Well, I am glad I didn't take the bike. First proper icy roads. A very cautious 7.5 mile jog. My push off foot was actually slipping back about an inch on the ice on some of the worst stretches.

Did some fettling yesterday and test ride this morning. Saddle and shorter Stem fitted to the Bianchi from the Defy. Still needs more work to get it just right, but very pleased with the pain relief!

Very wet everywhere today
Hoping to fit in a ride tomorrow though things to do first

Was dry in South Wales, as far as falling from the sky, but roads were soaking wet nonetheless.
