Shorts or longs?
What do people think?

Take some light legwarmers in case, but it's still shorts weather really.

Really sorry to hear that. Make sure you rest so you can ride again. Take care.

That's terrible news.

I remember you saying that you'd had to give up running because of back problems. I also remember you freaking out @Crackle's dog at Eureka on the Llandudno ride when you started doing your back exercises in the garden at the rear of the cafe.

I hope that something can be done about the problem - good luck with it!

Gosh, did he? I'm normally quite receptive to people's reactions to the dog but I didn't notice, in which case I profusely apologise to Alibaba. In addition I'm sorry to hear of your troubles, Alibaba, that's grim.

Thanks for all support it is boring rest time now

The dog was fine until Alibaba got down on the grass and started doing some stretching postures directly in front of him. He probably saw him as a big predator rather than a human being!

He probably thought he had food!

Arghh NO! That's terrible news, I was looking forward to catching up with you again and you always seem to have a great time on these rides even when you nearly die doing it. I'm gutted for you and I know how frustrating the forced inactivity can be as I did a good long spell after my accident at the start of the year.

Take it easy and get well soon. Hopefully you will be able to make it to a shorter ride soon.

Shorts or longs?
What do people think?

I was thinking 3/4s but they look a bit odd...

3/4s are pointless in every way.

Shorts... Its still summer till end of October

Right, that's me told, shorts it is...

Hmmm. Maximum 15 deg. and wet................longs are calling to me.

What are you lot like? Definitely too warm for longs, 2/3rds for me, but purely because I don't have pretty knees!

Or anything else...

If I recall correctly his knees are probably an improvement over less easily concealed areas.

GWS @alibaba. Have fun everyone!
