Unleash The Nade Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) The thing about big pockets on jerseys and the like is I'm seriously trying to avoid becoming a MAMIL - a middle aged man in lycra. Some of the more lurid examples I see on the road are fine for teenagers but look a bit daft on grown ups. With regards to the law re lights and reflectors,look here Clicky Dont knock the Lycra NBB,you can get some non-lurid kit and it really is much more comfortable and makes a huge difference,(especially the padding inside the shorts) Better to be a MAMIL than a FOBWANK ( Fanny On Bike With Annoyingly Naff Kit) As this picture of Monkeyblair will prove Edited August 16, 2011 by Unleash The Nade 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drooper Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 It's bloody it pouring it down just now i am not looking forward to the cycle home, legs are also feeling slightly tight as well i can tell now its going to be a good run I'm not long in - it was pishing down right until I left work....then it stopped and I made it home comparatively dry! In the morning, I usually experience the opposite effect. No wonder your legs are a bit tight. You didn't give yourself a rest day after the big ride. Fair play to you right enough, but I didn't go near the bike. I was too hung over anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unleash The Nade Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Really touch and go whether I went out tonight,but decided to go for it. Only did 20 miles,but in strong winds and it was absolutely pishing it down the whole time. Got back home totally soaked and knackered,but bloody loved it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that I only seen him at that one bit I clocked the guy at the top of a big climb about 85 miles in! He shouted that he wouldn't dare ask me to smile! I told him I'd give him my best grimace - it must have broke his lens 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisleysaints Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 7624 You havent been the only one missed. The two guys who done this with me neither of them have had any photo's done either haha. He must have a fair few he can't get the race numbers for. Looking forward to doing my next offical cycle. Thinking about the PFS but with my Mrs due to give birth a week on sunday i'll play it by ear. Think i was lucky to get the 100 mile one in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
