It is mainly the shoes. I have the same issue after riding more than 2 hours. The problem is that the sole does not support your metatarsal bones and these 'collapse' during the ride, especially...

There are bike shoes that offer a rubber sole and have a recess for the spd cleats so you can walk normally with them. Really practical for both on and off the bike.

Edit: I see Mark has already...

It is always subjective!
For example I didn't even get close to sitting on my bike since the 9th of June! That's more then 7 weeks. :(

Visited Egypt last week and returned with what has turned into a nice digestive issue, so right now no sport since more then 2 weeks, yet I am sure I lost a couple of kilos! ;)
I'll be traveling...

In the peloton everything is faster. I usually manage 30 km/h hen riding alone on the flat. Still I was surprised to reach 34 km/h during a ride involving a medium (at least for me) climb. In the end...

As you probably realized I am no Paris-Roubaix level! ;)

To be honest I am not very passionate about taking part in it, as it is rather dangerous to cycle in a pack with other 3000+ people on bikes, most of them as amateurs as I am.
I am invited every...

Not sure about the difference. It's the only one I take part in every year, since 2011.
It's this one:

Maraton Franja (the short one ;) ofcourse).

Yesterday managed to finish the 97 km bike race. Surprisingly enough, only about 500 kms of training this year, I managed to improve my time by almost 15 minutes, lowering it to 2 hours and 50...

The tires will hold air as long as the air chambers are OK. ;)
Just being pedantic.

Managed to ride 90 kms tonight, took me a bit over 3 hours though, this is worse then 2 months ago. :(
Reasons for that are a lack of training due to crap weather as well as the bloody wind that was...

Weather has been crap here since a couple of weeks.
I had planned to bike last Tuesday and yesterday, nothing happened. Tuesday I had to work very late and since yesterday morning it has been...

Your license plate is covered, there's a fine coming your way.

Man that's heartbreaking. looks like the bike fall and something drove over it.
I see this a lot around here. People don't care and push other people's bike to ground. Every time I go by a bike that...

Did a ride up a couple of hills tonight, not much fun as it was freezing cold and on downhill sections my fingers were freezing on the brakes.
Also I have to admit that the feeling of not being able...

Another 45 kms covered yesterday with very strong wind, up to 30+km/h. Luckily I was with a colleague, we still managed to have a 32 km/h average, however at the end I could barely move my legs, and...

You are in great shape.

I know :) , the issue is that the only gadget that I have is a Blackberry Bold 9900 phone. Endomondo used to work on it before I updated the OS, and Strava doesn't have an app for BB. :(
I will...

Looks like everyone is in full swing!
Today I did my first serious ride of the year, 86 km in 3 hours, mostly flat though so nothing special. However it is the same time I was doing last year after...

No time to ride during a week end because of a BBQ?!
You should it less and ride a bit on your bike.

Rain is not bad to CF bikes, the issue is that rain=slippery roads=likely that CF bike will make contact with tarmac!

The bike will only go as fast as you can pedal. The rest is all about comfort.
I went from an Alu bike to a Ti bike that is only half the weight, and the difference is 1-2%. Before I could do 90 kms...

Endomondo app doesn't work on my update BB OS, I have to see if I can find some workaround.

Agree about the difference in feeling from the frame.
I went from my old Alu frame to a TI frame and it feels better, I'll have to test a carbon frame next to see how it feels.

105 brakes have a...

Well done Mark! :up:
How were the brakes on that bike compared to yours?
