Show us your.......newbie progress! [4 Sep 2012 - 4 Oct 2014]

[Mo1959]

Got some miles in doing the rounds 6 in the morning, took the mtb to the LBS to get serviced.

N+1 rule is wanting to kick in, saw a real nice custom bike, and a nice trek.. For my zelos as a trade in i've been offered £210, and £75 for my mtb...

What shall i do?

Trade in the Zelos towards a new road bike and hang on to the mtb for use as a winter/filthy roads bike.

Nah, mtb before the zelos

Think by the end of the summer i'll have a new bike

That's a very smart looking bike I must say.

Look everybody. It's 19:30 and still daylight outside Now all I need is more days in a week and I may find time to ride my bike.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

probably not... though I have to say 10am this morning looked far more interesting!

Not sure which red splodge came over Leicester, but it was biblical for a while, to say I got wet coming home is an understatement, at least it was warm enough for shorts

 

[RWright]

Nigel, just read about your medical problem. Get well soon.

 

[Stonechat]

Well I worked hard today (it being wet outside) and am occupied in the afternoon, but now have free morning for a ride tomorrow

Having had one puncture I am wondering about the felt tyres supplied on my z95
Described as puncture resistant, but maybe I can do better

Looking good for you this morning @Mo1959

Just back......lovely and sunny but the wind is back. Can't have everything I suppose.

Had 3 slices of toast and tea and nearly ready for my dog walk now.

Hope you manage out yourself. Don't think you're to get the wind down there so should be nearly perfect.

Bugger! Sun shining but a bit blowy so off for a ride, no you are not the fairy has visited over night. First punct@re for over a year. So out with the wheel, out with the tube, patch the hole, search but don't find the cause, all back together and off we go. 10 miles later tyre is flat again so changed tube at side of road and short cut home. Guess I didn't fix the original p@ncture properly . Ah well all good practice as I guess I'm not allowed Marathons on my Defy 2.

first half of commute started very, very wet sadly but I did have a tail wind! I also have a broken rear mudguard which I have had to take off and whilst I am not a fair weather cyclist, I have also reached the conclusion that I am not a wet backside cyclist either! Will be ordering new mudguards today!

So the sun was shining when I left home but within 10 mins it was raining! Typical

On one of my segments (past the prison) I can normally get up to 30mph, today I struggled to maintain 17 into the B'Head wind.
