How far have you ran/cycled/swam today?

The born survivor looks good. The mountain one would be too much for me.

[Christopher Schroeter]

So I'll see you there?

 

And as soon as you start thinking it's too much for you, then it's too much for you.

(it's too much for me, but I've just given up thinking!)

[Chunkymunky]

I'd like to think i could do it. Have to work a bit harder and eat a darn sight better than i do.

[Christopher Schroeter]

So do it.....

[Chunkymunky]

I'll think on it.

Quick ten mile blast on old skinny Tyres!

[Chunkymunky]

Done nothing but chopping again. Took bike to have bottom bracket replaced and crank/bearings done. Guy gave me all the spiel about it being a cheap sh!t bike. How i should bin it and buy a £500 bike.

 

Told him to naff off basically. That i didn't come to be told me stuff is rubbish.

 

Really sick of the elitist attitude of cycling already. I jyst want something that gets about. Jeez

Im gonna join in on this thread. Last week I did 16 1/2 miles in 1.29, this week I did it in 1.09. A vast improvement!

[Chunkymunky]

16.5 mile??? Jesus. Have a word with sebastian coe. Olympics for you my friend

I think he means on a bike, not running! Hi Ben!

 

re bike shop: Old bikes are cool, dont let them tell you to buy new, in fact try another shop next time. I go to one thats happy to fix up old stuff (although I can do 99% of it myself). Biking shouldnt be elitist, thats one of the things that puts me off.

 

I have bought a modern carbon fibre road bike just to fit in with the triathlon club but they are certainly not an elitist bunch, they are just up for a lot of excersise!

 

I stear away from groups of mountian bikers on full suss machines at £1000's as most of them a just loud and annoying and cant ride a bike unless its got suspension. But having said that I did the local mountain bike trail on a full susser a few weeks ago and beat my best times on every section so I can see the appeal! But old school is still my favorite.

 

 

Did a 50km off road bike race last weekend on my 21yr old kili racer, and had zero mechanical issues!
