Hello cycle chatters, back on the bike after a 4 year absence. Not a newbie,but willing to learn new things in the wonderful world of bikes.
Cycle mainly for exercise,and pleasure,but hope to start the 40 mile round commute at some point in the future
Currently weighing in at 93kg on my 5ft 11 inch frame, meaning I need to shed 10kg to buy that carbon road bike I have promised myself (dangling a carrot to myself as inspiration)

that's all for now :-)

Took the 29 er out tonight, but didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. A close friend lives 10 miles away,and there was promise of a can of beer,to replenish the journey home. I locked out the front fork,and pushed the pressure up to 50psi (tend to run 40 when off-road) as it was all road cycling.
I huffed and puffed my way there and back,cursing myself for not taking the road bike.

I guess it's good to mix it up now and again :huh:

Add to that,it is unseasonally cold,and I only had a thin jersey and shorts on.
Another lesson learned, ride with layers !!!
