Should I or shouldn't I ?

[deptfordmarmoset]

you're not wrong, sometimes they can hum as well .........................at least thats what my wife tells me

I had that problem once upon a time but that was before I stopped sleeping with my head at the foot of the bed.

Not only that, I've heard his feet can smell!

Meanwhile, thinking about it, a lot of lifting and hauling, while tiring, doesn't use cycling muscles that much. If there are hills or speed that need honking up, then I'd expect weak legs. If it's covering the distance at your own pace and easy gearing, the legs might be fine.

Brackenbed! A minor local incline

Why don't you ask the legs?

He has legs that talk!

What would Jens say?

Brackenbed! A minor local incline

Still not ready for that yet, it's just a tad too steep for my liking...................unless I'm going downhill.
Funnily enough i can get up city lane without breaking sweat so maybe Brackenbed is more psychological.

I thought the question was going to be "Should I shift all those slabs in the panniers"!

Yep... Go for it

I had two monster physical days at work Thursday Friday aswell as the rest of the week, I'm a self employed gardener/grounds mnt. Had a 21 mile sporting TT yesterday (Saturday) which I struggled with if I'm honest, still completed it in 53.13 which was my first attempt on that course (winning time was 46 something). I just didn't feel I had the "full on" energy required to give it my absolute best .

Ive not read .any of the previous posts.

But whatever the question is you should. You should always choose should. :0)

I'm back, 41.9 miles at an average of 12.9mph, Siddal, Halifax to Hollingworth Lake and back. Beautiful morning for it, lots of fellow cyclists on the roads.

It looks like a lovely morning for it! Glad you went out!

I often find getting out is the hard bit, once out I'm normally fine!

The one thing I have learned from today is that ruddy saddle is no bloody good, sore arse does not even come close! I have now replaced the black saddle with the original that came with the bike.
Before anyone asks I did use chamois cream and I was wearing didoo bib tights though I must admit the pad was not the best I have ever worn.

Now I know canada geese when I see them but I have no clue what Egrets are.
@raleighnut Googled it, you taking the mick????

It's a long running joke on the Cycling Photo challenge thread, if you'd got a foot in as well you could have a winner.

Unmistakeable silhouette of an Egret - sadly no bike, glass or footwear to accompany it
