Cheers. Got full results today

1500m swim (no wetsuit makes it slower) 29min 51

41km bike 1hr 17:08

Put the feelers out and it seems myself and a few mates might start getting out for a ride at the weekends.

Still got my Marin in the loft but think a new saddle might be in order.any suggestions ? Thinking comfy padded springy not the razor blade thats on it atm.

Just start riding and stop thinking of what you need to buy before you can start riding. So many new excersise ventures start and finish with buying new gear.

 

You dont need a new saddle until you have done, lets say 5 cycling trips out on the marin. Hows that!

The bike in yesterday's picture is an old tradesmans bike with a large sprung brooks saddle. I have probably clocked up 10 miles since buying it on Saturday and Im off to price a job in a minute which will be a couple more miles, which is going to gently get me back in the swing of things rather than jumping in the deep end and trying to do a 40 mile road trip.

The Marin saddle just makes my butt and hips hurt hence fourth why its in the loft atm.

Its talking to Mick at Jonsies shoe that got me in the mood.

Well of course do whatever good for you. Just making a comment about the buying of new stuff sometimes getting in the way of actually doing anything.

I'm as guilty of that as anyone, I love buying all the new kit, but I do try and then use it all!

Lots of friends want to get fit and so they buy a running treadmill (for example) and use it to hang clothes on.

The best thing is to commit with friends what you are going to do and then you all try to not let each other down. If a sore backside is an issue then a bike like Mick's is probably not a good idea.

Yeah i am trying to find cleat pedals, shoes etc now. How much!!!

[Rupe]

Pedals are cheap, shoes are not!!
