I do... But due to my friend overtaking me on the road the other day, and so bringing out my ever present competitive streak, i went over the bars at about 20mph... So no riding for me due to a) the fact my helmet is now ****ed, and i dont have a spare one, and b) my body hitting the floor at said speed isnt good for it... So why arent you all riding?
i do, but i am building a big brownie point pile................
going to the pyrenees next friday for a weeks col storming on the road bike..... 8)
so all is good.
Arch pain. but ironically fine today
Woke up with a fever
sitting up is OK while the paracetmol is working
Will be starting my 6th week of revision tommorow, but you wont be getting me off my bike in a few weeks time 🙂
Both Roper and I have had flu so no riding for me. Woke up after a hideous night with aches and all 🙁 This was probably my last chance to go riding in Spain as what with one thing and another I may well not get a chance to ride before leaving.
Just sorting out the lawn in our house which pretty much invloves digging up the whole lawn with a fork due to the crap condition of it. Fun, fun, fun 🙄
Simon, that sounds horrible, knowing you may not get to ride there again. I'm just going mad as i have nothing else to do... I guess it shows how much i rely on my cycling to keep me busy/ happy/ poor. Oh well, i may trya road ride tomorow what with it being the weekend, if i can sort out helmet in time.
Starting to pack up the house in prep for moving, that and a broken big toe.
Third week into broken ribs, had a reasonable ride yesterday but it's a bit early yet. That said I'll be out again Monday and taking it well easy.
Sat in with my knee in a strap watching the footie at the moment. Start physio on Tuesday and then an MRI scan on Wednesday. Then hopefully I can find out whether I need keyhole surgery on my knee. No riding for me this summer it would seem unles the NHS can book me in sooner rather than later.
Yeah - kind of sucks as we had some rides lined up including the Ronda - Marbella descent and the third attempt at finding an old monastery in Montes de los Barrios. On Tuesday I have some moles cut off my back so I may not be able to ride next weekend, then my folks are here for my Mum's birthday, then the following weekend I may be back in the UK both on business and also doing some moving over the weekend. Then the following weekend I am asssuming I have no bike and gear as everything will be on it's way back home.
But it's not all bad as I am not working in June so will be able to catch up on my riding while i stay with my folks in Dumfries and a mate in Wales. 😀
I really can't complain to be honest.
House tidying duties today so nothing for me and then tomorrow it's the garden campaign taking it down to bear and starting fresh, oh joy.
just back from a club run nice sunny day on quiet roads and cream tea at the mid way cafe 🙂
snapped achilles ;-( bored!
Last (hopefully) weekend of coursework marking for me...
Hang on; Simonralli and Roper have 'flu?
They live in Spain/Gib, right? Where most people speak Spainish?
As they also do in Mexico??
And Ralli is planning to move back to the UK????
PANIC!!!! Run away, run away! 😯
Had a lovely ride in Epping Forest earlier. First proper bike ride following a big crash a few weeks ago. Brilliant. So nice to be back!
Rudebiy - dont worry - i will quarantine myself up in Scotland where the people are made of sturdier stuff. And actually the time to worry is when I get back from South America late august 🙂
in Scotland where the people are made of sturdier stuff.
No they're not. They die younger up there.
6th week of having a broken clavicle, x ray next friday, hopefully i'll be allowed to play again soon.... then look out yee locals! i'll be going mad trying to get back lost fitness, so you all better be ready to ride. 5 times a week!
Last 4 days in inverclyde hospital with an IV antibiotic in my arm, well bored now.
I hurt my spine riding home from lectures. My friends rode Laggan yesterday, riding Golspie today and Learnie tomorrow on a trip that I organised. Also got a huge amount of work to do. Got a brand new bike, helmet and custom Oakley Radars sat in my room (turned 21 on Wed), taunting me untily my spine gets better and my exams are over. One day.
I spent the afternoon readying my car boot bargain bike for its future commuting duties.
Working - nearest I got to an mtb was someone who'd fallen off their bike on the A68 but didn't even make it to that in the end.
Off tomorrow and will be out rain or shine
Just got back from fantastic 4 hour ride above Todmorden, Hebden etc etc. Sadly, my legs say no more for today. And it has been an expensive ride!! On here posting in case the bikers we passed, who almost certainly found and picked up my Oakleys, read this forum and decide to return them. You never know your luck do you?
Details in forum in case you know anyone riding on the Lancashire Yorkshire border today!
I do, but promised the Mrs a day having a walk around Elterwater..
Cracking day out was had..
Lovely weather, and only one short downpour..
Finished off with a cracking pint sat under the Maple Tree, outside the Britannia..
Oh to be in Elterwater
I assome the shop is still shut. Its a real loss
Yeah, it is..
When did that happen??
Was gutted- I'd promised the wife an ice cream..
hmm, i still wanbt to be out cycling, but in the end i got off my arse and went and cleaned on of my bikes properly, for the first time in ages... So that was quite satisfying... I just wish i'd got the bits to build up my new bike...
Not me as my legs are faszzled from today and yesterdays riding.
Happy to be home 2morro doing cleaning and work!
Wash the mud off the bike from todays ride!
Feel sorry for the injured folks, hope you're all back riding soon. 😛

after an excellent long ride on Friday (holiday here) followed by a longer recovery food and beer/spirit session, then falling off said bike and bruising hip several times, loosing camera along the way (need larger back pack) and keeping the misses awake with me talking to god down the big white telephone. I've decided it's better for my own health to stay in and keep the wife company... (till next weekends ride)
The delay in posting in this thread was I was inspired so I went out for a spin on my SS crosser (with 42 x 16). What a ride! I was buzzing charging up hills and flying along the flat. The crosser handled most hills even steep ones with a little 'out of the saddle work'.
I love single speed 🙂
