You should post a 'new bike day' thread on reddit :D (and here too of course!)
April was a pretty good month, as expect with 2 weeks holiday from work!
Did my most miles ever cycling in a month; 228 miles. (216 last September being the previous best) and did by far the most climbing I've ever done 17k ft as opposed to the previous best of 11k ft.
May will be more difficult, no holidays from work but there will be two bank holidays, one this weekend where apparently I'm cycling part of the route which is going to be used for some sort of bike race...
PS I just realised this month saw me do my 1,000th mile cycling (in recent times) so happy with that too :)
I think one of the guys I've been cycling with has a similar model. He takes it to Glentress regularly for a thrash. Got my new Jamis Durango on Friday. Love it. It's so effortless, I could pedal for miles! Such a difference to be on a bike that isn't about 5 stone heavy. Got an email from Evans saying they've rewarded me for my custom with free entry to a Ride It event. Think that may be beyond me at the mo.......Quote:

Nonsense! I've seen your Endomondo's! Get to the Ride It! in Langholm on the 18th May. 15 miles is the medium route, you should be able to do that no problem, doesn't matter how long it takes you.Quote:

BTW While Endomondo is good and I still use it. I do find Strava better for cycling, not just for the segments ;) . I just wish there was some way to auto update both of them without having to faff on exporting and importing GPX files.
We shall see! Are you doing that or am I imagining things?Quote:

Well I wouldn't be doing the MTB course on Saturday, I might be doing the Sportive on Sunday, but we'll see cos I have quite a few rides this year and don't want to go on too many ;)Quote:

I suspect the MTB ones will be even better as they'd take you over terrain you'd not otherwise see. Whereas with the sportives you could just go out and cycle it yourself any day if you were so minded
Iain if you do it I will too, I don't have any plans that weekend :s
Really fancy entering the mountain bike orienteering event in Crieff on the 26th.
No bike today - hopefully tomorrow.....
