Tea?

[Saluki]

Okay cycling is officially hurting me. I have woken up this morning to bruises on my legs from where I clatter my pedals and some weird bruising round my neck! I must say though, apart from a little heaviness in the legs, I feel fab this morning.

Try stretching afterwards, I find it helpful.
Try a shock absorber. I find them the best but have been known to use an Asda sports bra. Cheap and cheerful but they really seem to do the job.

Thank you

I just need to understand why the stupid woman in her big 4wd black Chelsea tractor cannot see a size 20 woman wearing a hi-Vis vest and on a bright white bike! My first SLIDSY on the new bike!

If I can be missed on this

...what chance do you have on just a bike?

No excuse though.

Oh, they can see you. However, cyclists just don't count on their list of entities that should be saved from extinction!!

Careful...............it can get very addictive if you let it. Lol.

Just be careful and not do what I did and nearly kill myself trying on a downhill one.

Some people take it to extremes though. None on the actual runway.

Planned your next cycle camp with the guides?

Do it right and you can have them carrying all the heavy stuff.

Not a cycling camp as the thought of my lot loose on the roads is just scary. We are camping at the end of May though.

I thought I would be a lot slower in the rain, but I have just ridden to work in 16 minutes, it usually takes me 20. I have also discovered I need mudguards on my bike, I am absolutely filthy. As you all know, I know nothing about these things, are they easy to get and fix to my bike?

They're easy to fit if you know what you're doing.

Best thing is to take a photo of your bike and ask in the technical part of the forum.

I don't venture into places like that, you are all my fountain of knowledge

I shall take a pic and venture in there later.
