The Cycling Ride Thread 2014
Re: The Cycling Ride Thread 2014
One snapped chain (mine) - one crash (my mate and it's on video ) - bizarre corn field induced rash (my mate again!!)- bramble cuts and some walking up big hills. Let's do it all again next sunday
I thought it would be a good idea to do a pre-event training ride on the actual route we are doing next Sunday. Now i'm thinking maybe it wasn't such a good idea!!
Just the 6 category 4 climbs today!!!!!!

Re: The Cycling Ride Thread 2014
From January up until the wiggle ride in Jun last year, I rode 322 miles
This year, I have only ridden 172 miles.
The times for the actual ride last year and the training ride (identical routes) today were almost the same.
Hows that work then?

Down hill bits look more fun than the up hill... And the camera flattens them out so only your coughing and moaning puts it into context

Re: The Cycling Ride Thread 2014
I love the down hill bits. Towards the end of the ride though, I was getting tired and that certainly makes the downhill sections more interesting. I thought I would be able to ride up a couple of the really steep hills. No frickin chance. I'll need to get a few hills in this week ready for SundayAMCQ46 wrote:Down hill bits look more fun than the up hill...

Whilst you were all out burning fosil fuel, I was busy doing the Wiggle South Downs Epic - Standard 28 mile MTB route. Beat last weeks time and smashed last years

Thanks Al. I love the downhill sections. My mate leaves me going up the hills, I leave him going down themAMCQ46 wrote:Good one George.... I am liking the 35mph max speed off road
It must be all the off-roading on the dirt bikes
There are some cracking DH sections too. Great fun
