Reina Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Santa brought me a turbo trainer. Tried it out today. Ended up doing 34 miles on it, according to my trip computer. Amazing what your favourite music blasting in your ears will do! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statts1976uk Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Anyone in the Fife area looking for a new bike should pop down to Leslie Bike Shop as they have 40% off all bikes today only. I'm not allowed another one as I've bought three in the last year!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I picked up a Carerra Hellcat from Halfords for £225 the other day. It's my first ever 29er and it feels like riding a tractor after being on a hybrid for the last year. It's great being able to hit drains and potholes and barely feel a thing though. I also felt far more confident on the icy roads here this morning than ever did in similar conditions before. I'm hoping to head up to the forest near my house on Sunday and attempt some basic off road stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnash Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I got a Mekk Poggio 3.0 - 2015 model. It's as light as a (bike-sized) feather but I'm waiting for some dry roads before I try it out in anger. I'll need to get used to the SPD SL pedals too, as I have toe clips on my other bike. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 This year I'm trying to outdo my charity success from last year with a "penny a mile" sponsorship. Got about 30 sponsors so far and I'm aiming to hit at least 1000 miles but my real target is 2000 miles. Most I've ever completed in a year previously is 1600. If you fancy sponsoring me I'll get my just giving page up soon and if you are interested drop me a PM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The Amazon bracket arrived and it works perfectly. A single screw holds it onto the rack bracket, with two cable ties giving it a bit more stability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unleash The Nade Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Well, that went badly.Picked up my bike at 9.30am, had a crash at 10.00am and have broken my arm. :(Flew back early on the Wednesday and am waiting for a slot for an operation to fix it. Apparently it's an unusual break so the hospital want an upper limb specialist to do it.

Unleash The Nade Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Been really getting more into the mountain bike lately as much safer off road with the shite weather we've been having . Not doing anything like the distances I do on the road bike , but you get one hell of a work out and use much more of your upper body. Was out for almost 3 hours on Sunday and probably only did around 25 miles, but felt more knackered than I do after 70 miles on the road 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've a buddy who wears a lot of Mavic gear and I give him the same treatment. He tries to laugh it off but he hates it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printer Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Haven't been here for a few weeks and just saw your postHope you're on the mend mate, that's really shitty luck Cheers, mate. I am on the mend and managed my first trip to the gym today, where I had very tentative goes on the bikes and cross trainer (legs only). They expect I'll be able to get back on my bike early March. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'm desperate for the weather to improve temperature-wise so I can get back on the bike. And before anyone tells me to "man-up" ( ), externally I can cope with the cold. Internally, I'm mildly asthmatic and cold air is a trigger - especially if I'm out of breath so inhaling a lot of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
