Children and heavy mountain bikes .
bought my boy a specialist child bike from Isla Bikes - you can't beat them. He loves it (no suspension). He has even been on my indoor trainer (see my photo's, and video).I do not think suspension i…

Garmin 705
I second what Christina wrote. I got one for Christmas, and think it is the most invaluable piece of bike kit. I've used 'map my ride' to plan routes. I love it so much I'm thinking of getting a Cycl…

Bike Theft - Your thoughts please..
I am so paranoid about my Ruby, that it rarely leaves my sight. She is locked in my office at night attached to the indoor trainer at the moment. Even in winter if (when) I stop at a pub, I take my p…

Have just found cycling again after a lonnnnngggg break. Used to cycle daily 26 miles commute in Germany. But did no touring/weekend rides. Now, really enjoying getting back into it. Still find hills hard (Mind you I'm a bit more lardy thank I used to be)! Just had a couple of recent set backs! I had both knees arthoscoped in October 09, and the next morning suffered a stroke (spent a week in hospital). Fortunately I have no significant residual deficits, but it has seriously curtailed my cycling (as has the recent weather). Recently invested in a home Turbo Trainer, and with some downloaded interval training aids from Sufferfest.com, have enoyed training in all weathers! Recently got a Garmin Edge for Christmas - wow what a tool. Get one!!!

TENDONITIS (Copied from http://pro-physio.co.uk/Documents/Tendonitis.docx)
Introduction
Tendonitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon. Tendons are the tough, white, stringy and rubbery (fibrous) cords that link muscles to bones. They help to release the power created by a muscle contraction, which helps move the bones and joints. For example, the tendons that you can see on the back of your hands move your fingers and are joined to the muscles in the forearm.
Some tendons are covered with a protective and lubricating sheath of tissues, called the syno… Continue

- oh no, I hope the wild edric is not closed - this year's details are not yet up on the website here though, so still hoping. maybe I'll have to do the evans ride-it ride in the lake district in september instead - DH can pull the kids round in the trailer, although for some reason he's not keen on that idea, as it's round Coniston way!!

- sounds a lovely bike!! I do like my specialized, guess my mate is going to enjoy his roubaix then. he's got a 30 mile road trip round Snowdon planned for us in August, so at least I have something to aim for!! My husband will get to babysit the kids - LOL!!! I need to give my bike a clean tomorrow though, the roads round here are sooo muddy and I'm ashamed to say, I forgot to clean it last time out!

WindyRob said… - Mate, just looked at your route. Can't believe that you ride the Morestead road! Rode today with a mate form the village and we used Hensting lane as well but took the 2nd hill to Owslebury and then rode along the Baybridge road to Upham. Very cold out there again. Hope you're keeping well - see you must have been pushing on the hills maxing out at 169bpm.

- You should have turned left before the church that would have saved you having to ride up salt lane to the milburys. Long slow drag up to the top isn't it? You could have gone up hensting lane to oswlbury, there is a cracking hill that way, one of only 2 places where i really needed to stop pedalling but was going too slow to unclip so had to keep going!
