Re: The Cycling Thread
Gah, all this talk of new bikes is making me want a new one to... I have 4 already... yet I find myself still wanting to upgrade my best bike.
STOP IT WILL YOU !

Re: The Cycling Thread
Same as yours, an EBAY purchase, but typically, as soon as I won mine, a 500 sold for £16 more.
But mine came with HR strap, and 2 bike mounts for £100, which was £100 cheaper than new. I'll test it this week

Re: The Cycling Thread
I'm in need of some advice from you more serious cyclists.
I'm looking at doing both the London to Brighton and London to southend bike rides this year for the british heart foundation, which are at about 52 and 53 miles. the furthest I have cycled so far in one go is about 26 miles. I'm not unfit, but also not the most healthy person going. I've got a good idea at what sort of training regime I will follow, but am interested in criticism/advice how to improve on this. The majority involves: cycling at least 3 days a week to work (8 miles each way) Once a week do a longer ride, probably starting at aroudn 20-30miles and then trying to build up to the 50 odd mile run. I'm not great at climbs, as, being only a casual cyclist, I've never really focused on this. My plan is to cycle to the gym - as there is a monumental climb on my way home, and do this at least twice a week. Is there anything else I should be looking at? I'd be especially interested to hear if anyone has done something similiar to myself and how they trained. |
