Can't believe how mild it is today. Very blowy though. I think I will risk my dog walk with just a t shirt and gilet. Prefer being cool to start then warm up.

To be even stronger winds tomorrow so I won't be cycling as I was a bit nervous in some of the gusts this morning.

It has been that mild here we went back to the summer weight quilt overnight! too warm to sleep even with the windows open. this morning going into Chester it was already 18C!

no they dont :P

yea they do, not showing you images as I might get in trouble, but WNBR springs to mind

 

[Torvi]

im still not decided which way i want to go to be honest. ive got good/mad cadence and think that sprinting would suit me best but im also relatively good on climbing and im begin torn apart which of them i want to focus for future...

okay so im closing this week with 95 mileage as a training and another 5-10 miles of commuting that's rougly 100 miles this week lol ive done 1/3 of last 3 months mileage... in a week

@Torvi cycling is about balance of techniques, you will be better at some than others, but its important to practise as many as you can to get it flowing smoothly (unlike me )

Not saying how far I have done this week (though not far compared with what I can do) as its a newbie thread

 

[Torvi]

Nigel with your databases and formulas id rather see you as a coach more than a cyclist, you want to be my coach? i can pay you in post likes :P


WHAT A BIG SUCCESS OF MINE! Last month i ordered 34" slim fit trouses by mistake and when i tried to put them in i couldnt put one leg, now they fit me and there is some room in hips free! im just amazed how cycling makes me fit without me really realizing it! they just bit tight in calf and knee area but it will stretch hopefully

[Cold]

I haven't been on my bike for 4 weeks due to me having a bit of a nightmare.
It all started with a heavy cold then I was made redundant from work, the day after I finished I got a stomach bug that lasted about a week and completely drained me.
Started to feel better when I contracted hand foot and mouth from my youngest son he got a mild case I got a severe case.
That has taken nearly 10 days to clear up and finally felt good on Sunday and took some family round London for the day had a nice meal but woke up during the night and was sick which turned out to be food poisoning.

So the last 4 weeks have pretty much been me sitting in bed playing the Xbox and feeling sorry for myself

Today I feel good so come rain or shine my bike is getting a run out tomorrow.

I wouldnt waste any money on lottery tickets at the moment, not with luck like that! Hope that's the end of it.

That's absolutely no excuse for not getting out on your bike!

I think the weather is due to be crap tomorrow - if it is I will blame you and your bad luck entirely.

Seriously - I hope you have better luck in the future.

NB: I think I have man flu coming - woke up aching from head to toe - might explain why I have been sluggish on my bike this week. I am possibly clutching feebly at straws here.

See what you have done - whinging is contagious!

............and I am going to whinge about the wind tomorrow. Far too strong for me to wobble around in! Had a couple of little wobbles on exposed sections this morning and tomorrow is to be stronger so not risking it.
