Your ride today.... (part 1)

[Blue]

I managed my first 100 miler today and I'm well pleased. I just hope the legs are up to an easy spin tomorrow! Does this mean I am now entitled to call myself a 'real' cyclist?

Depends on how how many loaded panniers you had on, was it the full set or just the back two?

Panniers?? I don't even have love handles any more - all this cycling got rid of them

Coming back through Inverkeithing I got the comment, 'hey mista you've got too many flashing things',

Flashing at people in Inverkeithing?.

Flashing at people in Inverkeithing?.

The last time I did that was when I was 2 year old and my nappy fell of in the park behind my old house in Hope Street

An extended commute home in the sunshine through Saddleworth.

Lovely and my cold has gone now too.

A nice 25 miles this afternoon, a little cool but otherwise perfect, I even got some sunshine on the last stretch. Started to feel a bit off near the end, will have to work on eating right and having something in the pocket for these occassions so I don't feel like....

Put SPD(Shimano M520's) on the fixed, first ride on them. Set them up right, slightly harder to clip in then the SPD-SL's, smaller target to aim for, but did pretty well.

you mean the other way round surely?

I am not trying to ruin any ones day! But I might just be about to do that!

I took my eldest to The London free wheel (read; loads of people falling off on very crowded streets) Some one there said that Chris Hoy is doing 58 mph at the 200m mark!

No, on the fixed the SPD-SL always flipped around and i could clip into them easy, bigger target.
On the SPDs they kept going around, and its a smaller target to aim for, had to go slow and move my foot about. Got used to them after a while, was still hard at first though.

Glorious about 20 mile ride after work last night...sun's shining, hardly anyone on the route i take, hardly any wind, just a pair of Bikesters and a t shirt.
Fabulous....rides like that, you dont care how far or how fast....the rest's irrelevent.

Too many hills for the second time this week around the Clent area yesterday. The good thing is, I'm getting better as I was quicker than last time and not last.

I love my compact
