Re: The Cycling Thread
Good spot on the Wiggle one having the steering frame, I think I may get that one instead.
Saying that, I did go out this morning and despite the headwind and rain it was still pretty fun! |

Re: The Cycling Thread
Yes, I'd rather go out on the road, but sometimes I haven't got the time to do what I want to do, so doing a quality short session on the turbo is better than none at all.
You can't replicate Alpine climbs on our flat roads, so the turbo is better, even though its not 100% realistic
