Well and truly hooked, it was dull and windy and cool outside, it was warm and cosy inside so why did I have to get kitted up and ride for 30 minutes?

Because its better than being sat in doors.

Mrs doesn't like cycling in the dark so we have decided when she is back from work we go for a little run together just back from a short 2 miles not fast just out and doing.

My legs have toned up very nicely this year, although I'm still trying to find that nice six pack that's currently hiding under a ton of belly blubber

Cant go out waiting for deliveries and i'ts

oy you know you wont get a six pack from cycling cycling works for legs mostly, you gotta do some crunches for it

Hope your delivery comes early and you get a wee spin.

Not long back myself. Was chilly and misty when I set out and was just warming up by the time I got back. Will be nice for dog walking now though.

What I meant to say is my six pack is relaxed muscle, a bit too relaxed, honestly

I'm waiting for for the postie coming with my new 105 rear hub for my TDF, I'm hoping it comes today so I can build the wheel up over the weekend

O/h is getting the bike fit tomorrow for the trek so I will try and get a test ride on 1 or 2 see what they feel like.
But to be honest I think my mind is made up on the 2015 synapse full 11 speed 105 and upgraded wheels, geometry is the same more or less as my winter Raleigh and it's cheaper.
If I go with cannondale they won't get them in till 2nd week in November I think it will be worth the wait. Also deciding whether to go tubeless or not.

Tried a different route this morning - Getting bored of my Windsor loop - so headed South instead. Weather held up & I was a little too warm by the time I finished!
I think 40 miles is my limit at the moment as my knee started aching by the end. Enjoyed the below ride apart from getting stuck in traffic in the school run & also getting a little lost - as my planned route wanted to take me off road at one point! Have now switched over to my winter bike which is abit heavier being steel - so my average speed has now dropped a couple of mph!

Short outing, but was windy with tailwind on return ,so got a few PRS including a 2nd overall, though to be honest could have ridden harder

I took mine off again. Two punctures in five weeks but maybe I was just unlucky. Going to stick with the Durano Plus over the winter months at least.
