I'm riding routes I rode years ago. Some of the descents have me wondering how I managed back then with side pull brakes. Obviously had zero fear or thought I was immortal. | |||

I used to cycle in a triathlon club and the tendency is for people to try and outdo the others and average speeds just kept increasing to a point where it was no longer worth it | |||

"I need to get out on the bike, but need to get a decent pair of shorts. All the ones I have cut me at the top of the thighs, ev3n when I slap on a load of saddle soap. It still rubs and I end up getting a cut." In all honesty I have tried all makes from cheap to expensive. The ones o have found work best for me are Aldi!! They have a good gel pad not foam plus they are sized to your size, so large is large etc | |||

Never had an issue before, but all the shorts now, seem to have a ridge on the foam, where it sits at the top of your leg. | |||

"Just been for nice 6.5 mile ride after shops and stuff was amazing be out again first ride of yr due to health a work etc but missed it. Not much but it’s a nice ride on the mountain bike Mountain bikes are always harder to ride longer distances, 6.5 is pretty good going for a first ride out. Hope you enjoyed it " I know my ex had hybrid and was so much easier. Loved it nice trail/track near me so was fun and very quiet once off the roads so was good. You did loads on yours do you always do long rides | |||

You did loads on yours do you always do long rides" Much like you I’m just starting getting out on the roads again after winter so just building up the stamina again. My usual ride is a 16mile circuit around the local villages that normally takes me just under an hour. Want to build up to do a 100k , just need a bit more endurance | |||

"Short 20km on the road bike today, still getting used to cleats and of course managed to take a tumble. I’m fine but the bike will need some TLC and I’m supposed to be competing on it tomorrow, oops. Then my friend is running an off road MTB race tomorrow so I dusted the mountain bike off and went and had a play out on the course in the sun this afternoon. Happy days "What cleat system did you go for? I started off using Shimano MTB SPD s with mountain bike shoes to start off with on my road bike and also wear on my winter/commuter bike | |||

What cleat system did you go for? I started off using Shimano MTB SPD s with mountain bike shoes to start off with on my road bike and also wear on my winter/commuter bike "I started off with SPD-SL but switched to SPD last year, much more practical when off the bike & easier to connect with the cleat. Anyone into Audax? | |||

What a run though! I looked at my strava for the last few years, definition of inconsistent, so I applaud her! I just need to get 1 or 2 rides in a week on it, added to my Mountain bike rides I should be doing OK... | |||
