Works as it should, that's me racking the miles up in all weathers.

This thread has brought a smile to my face as it more or less mirrors my addiction built up from 65 miles in January on my finally finished being built 20yr old Cougar complete with downtime shifters, to my now regular 130miles a week on the same bike. Apart from this month when I have mainly been laid up with a bad back :-/
But Mrs bought me some new Specialised touring shoes today, just fitted the cleats and ridden to the end of the road and back so I'm ready to ride again just as soon as this sickness certificate expires...

 

[SpokesT]

Well I thought they were called down tube shifters but autocorrect knows best eh

 

[awfulquiet]

My tyres are "Specialized Mundo".....if they are good or bad I have no idea..they feel ok to me.

A quick google shows their reviews as being 'meh' at best..

Schwalbe Ultremo ZX in size 25, or some Conti GP4000 or GP4000S in 25 will give you better grip and a more comfortable ride.

If you're a heavy rider, the Ultremos go up to 9 bar in size 25... And 10.5 bar in size 23.

Re the Mundos: I bought a pair of these the other week , haven't fitted them yet though

I haven't updated this thread as much as I should.
I do 10miles most week nights either out on the road or on the Turbo Trainer also have been mixing it up a bit with some MTB use too, I really enjoy riding both.

Just off out for my Saturday 20miler (on the roadie)...lovely day for it.

Oh and my Bell broke off the other day

Wow! Good Luck!

Short, standard or epic?

 

[y2blade]

I'd love to say the EPIC 125mile one, but realistically the STANDARD 82mile should be doable by then.

The furthest I've ridden in one hit to date is 30miles.
