I've never suffered, but I always wear a top under my bib shorts braces Bought a couple of bike specific ones at Lidl today for £6.99 each, which were left over from their bike stuff of last week

The seat was uncomfortable after 30 miles so i've got a specialized avatar on there now and it doesn't get comfy until 20 miles! I did 42 miles today in the pouring rain on it and it was great. Really enjoying cycling at the moment, especially as i've found some quiet roads to ride, although the finish of them does leave a lot to be desired and i'm terrified my carbon forks are just going to fail! In the last week or so i've come to realise how important the energy drinks and stuff are too, feel like i could pedal for ever when i drink that sis stuff. |

I used squash on the weekend, although I did take a gel on each day which wasn't enough. I need to take a look at that stuff for longer rides. I used to use SIS Rego recovery drinks when I was marathon training and SIS Orange Carb Gels are about the only ones I can actually handle.

Training for the Pyrenees goes apace... I've started doing laps on the Clwyd Gate on Thursdays in place of a normal ride in addition to longer weekend rides with the Crapi Wheelers. This is a 3.3km climb at an average of 7%, so just about managing 10km of climbing each session, I then have another kilometre of climbing to get home from Ruthin.

I expect the handling would be interesting

Looks like the bike sales are starting early. Chain Reaction have up to 30% off Vitus bikes and many others are discounted. If you are looking for a new push-iron, now is a good time.

I nearly came off early in the rain, wasn't going very fast either went round the corner and nearly went down.
Which has worried me about attempting to commute all winter, will different tyres help much? |
