im knackered but have a big grin, even when i was overtaken going up hill by matt doing a wheelie past me, awesome

Yep, good ride today



He did that to everyone... bit disconcerting when you got your head down on a climb for someones wheel to come by at eye level

Great ride today. Most tiring one for me so far. That 3-4 mile ride home took everything i had left. I could barely stand up, had a nice hot shower, ate like a pig, had a 2-3 hour nap and all back to normal

I liked some of the new bits we did today

Cheers for leading and bringing cake. I only wheelie to save wearing out the front tyre

Me too... particularly the downhill bit we did uphill last weekend after getting lost, much better in the right direction


Uphill wheelies... it's just that we're jealous

Leading... I thought you were leading?

[quote=Leading... I thought you were leading?[/quote]

No, I was just pace maker

Worked for me.... my legs have only just about recovered

Mind you I didn't need an afternoon nap like some of the younger contingent

Oi!

My excuses: I cycled an extra 7 miles, and the rolling resistance on my tyres is a joke. Really felt the dragging towards the end of the ride.

Im now at a whopping £20 in my bank account after starving myself for lunch for 2 and a bit weeks, so a bit more and i might get myself some new tyres. Wanted some new pedals at first because mine weigh 34578689456kg and are a bit noisy, but i may aswell get something that will make a big difference.

Forgot to say thanks for the flapjacks and leading And thanks to all who let me have a go on their bikes, and i apologize to all who had a go on mine.

Yes i didn't have a nap as i drank two large black coffee's i was that tired! i know one thing i was as stiff as a board by about 8pm and in bed by 9.30pm i was that knackered!

I must apologise in advance to everyone.
i fully intend to come on the next one as well

Hah you realise Matt might do reverse wheelies up the hill next time

Shame i missed another fun ride with you guys (working again ) Hope i will make it next sunday.

Btw, I'm heading to epping forest tomorrow at 10:00 if anyone interested. I put together some nice loop.

I call it Triple 888.

Here is the map if anyone interested

Just reading this makes me realise how I should never be allowed anywhere near you with a bike.
I had every intention of getting out of bed and coming down on Sunday, however, a late start and a puncture stopped that so instead I ventured out on my own a little later in the day. Wheelies??? UPHILL??? I couldn't even pedal uphill cos the back wheel was sliding all over the place. I don't know how you manage it, I only did about 7 very muddy miles and was completely knackered. My todo list is now....
1. Sell bike
2. Stick to the road

Maybe being a tad harsh, I'll keep the bike (for now).

There is nothing wrong with doing a wheelie... and wheelies uphill are better because it helps you improve your wheelie skill.
