The Cycling Thread

Hurry up wiggle...I am so excited I could crush a grape!

Just went on to check the status of my order, not yet processed and noticed upto 20% off bikes offer. So I cancelled my existing order re-did it and got £120 off the bike, so it is now £879!!! Just have to be excited a few more days!

Cooler then a penguin's pecker

Spend the £120 on some gear/pedals/tools

After having been a heavy smoker for some 38 years, I started cycling in 2007 having stopped the weed at the same time, 68 miles in 5hrs 17 min BUT that was the IOW randonnee this year so it was almost continuous up & down hills. I used my Trek 2.3t Madone I reckon at 58 and weighing in at 82Kgs that's not too bad. Suffer from asthma and crap knees and a host of other things but every day I wake up is a gooood day!

Added some black 105 pedals to the order and a basic tool kit.

Tomorrow will make day 5 of a full weeks commuting on bike...my legs are fubared!!! First 5 day cycling week, with no plan to get a motorbike or car at present.

Where's the "Like" button

Bad day for Team Sky. Poor Bradley Wiggins

However, I wouldn't be surprised to see some stirring stuff from Geraint Thomas and Edvald Boasson Hagen in the remainder of the Tour, being free from the need to ride for their Team Leader is great opportunity for their talent to shine though. Watch Boasson Hagen in the next few years

Just watching ITV4 now - 60 kmh with 4k to go - bloody hell

Gutted for Bradders, but awesome sprint from Cav - another stage win
