Yay, back to up to 2 hours exercise / riding a day again.

It's really going to depend upon the commute - is it flat or is it hilly. Are you riding through wind exposed sections? Looking at your bike specs according to Kona, it does run rather large tyres, 700x47 I think the only thing that's going to make it faster is running narrower slicks. Removing the ...

Wet roads but no rain for the ride out to the shops this morning. I enjoyed the peace and tranquillity on the streets from the lack of motor vehicles, not to mention the opportunity to stretch the legs and get some fresh air. Light rain for the ride home but my wet weather gear kept me warm, dry an...

Yes, that will be the plan, I think. Post lockdown of course.

13yo son has discovered strava. Now he's riding every day trying to get trophies and aiming to knock off a "local legend" or two. Good on him. Soon he will be beating his Dad.... Maybe not for a long time. :) I'm going to have to get him a new bike. He's out grown his MTB and he's borrowi...

Well, I enjoyed being in the lead for a couple of Days.

Congrats to Graham.

We're not going to catch you this week!

Almost summer-like today. Very nice before the wind got up.
Took the youngest for his first ride around hawthorn velodrome.

I'd rather use the 1 hour to be riding every last minute of it, rather than wasting it on getting a coffee. It does help, having a decent machine at home - but even that broke down last week :lol: and I'm waiting for a part to fix it (giving it a crack fixing it myself). Long live the Nanopress in t...

Swift recovery Frosty!
