Fair play. Might have a bit of a wait for that unless your off abroad again ;)
Well it's nice to see there are plenty of people here who also like their cycling (more than me it seems)!
I just did a 40-miler today to Windsor, which I'm really pleased with considering I'd been ill for quite a while. :)
Maybe I can post a pic of my steed too - it's not the most amazing thing but I'm really proud of it. :)
I'm sorry to hear that Ben; it's really horrible when that happens. :(Quote:

Has anyone noticed that you can be pretty fit in one way and not much at all in another...?
Like with me, I can cycle pretty good distances quite quickly. So I thought I wouldn't really struggle too badly at running when I started really trying it properly a couple of years back. It was terrible: I just couldn't do half a mile - DOWNHILL - it was just so much!
Perhaps you have an awkward gait. :angel:
You've changed your name again! Are you trying to lose us? :pQuote:

You can be quite a lot heavier to do cycling than to run properly. Running at least for me tends to get the heart rate through the roof in minutes, where on a bike as I can keep a constant 140bpm for a long time.Quote:
