Re:

Yesterday I did a fast 16 miles on the MTB then washed and changed for a 2 hour Origami class.

Then today I went on the local CTC Rendezvous Ride, ma gaff to Abercorn Church, by Hopetoun House and back.
70 mile round trip holy feck was ma arse sore when I got home. Brooks saddles : 6,500 miles later and I've come to the conclusion that ma B17's no the saddle for me, I did give it a crack, crack!
And one other thing, I think its safe to say "the caulds on its way oot" although am gonna have to jet wash the bike as its looking like a prop from the film 'Alien' lets just say my sinuses MUST be clear by now

I think i managed about 15 miles today My shrivelled thigh muscles were really feeling it. Lots of up inclines and a bloody headwind.

At least i didn't disgust anyone and put them off their dinner

Re:

Just realized my knees and napper (no helmet) are slightly crisped after being out for 9 hours in the sun
I wont go on about the rescue I made on the Forth Bridge "Man of steel rescues elderly lady and daughter in wheel chair drama"

Re:

Sounds like a pretty big ride Rob, especially if you were feeling crap.

Re:

I was on my way home heading across the bridge (south bound side) A frail old lady stopped me to ask if I had a pump as the tyre on her daughters wheel chair had gone flat and was off the rim. Well I tried to blow it back up but couldn't keep the tyre on the rim as the daughter couldn't leave the chair. So I cycled back to the south side of the bridge to lock the bike up then walked back to get them both. So I took over the wheel chair pushing as it was on the rim by now, her car was behind the observation building on the south side. Once I'd got them both back into the car I walked back to the bike, just as I was unlocking the bike I had a little chuckle to my self, what if I'd locked the bike on the bridge? Some body walking past a bike locked to the railings ON THE BRIDGE and no cyclist in sight :shock:
