Cycling

That's a piss take. By building it they only mean putting the wheels, seat and pedals on and mounting the handle bars. 10 minute job.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

I told him I'd do it as it's hardly rocket science.

 

"That'll void the warranty mate"

 

You're not my mate you cunt. You and your 4 work mates have sat around playing with each others balls for 20 minutes while I've been waiting here. You could have done the job 4 times over. Wankers.

 

Anyway it just means a trip up to Belfast on my day off, but fuck it. Big picture, it's no big deal.

Make sure the forks are on the right way. I've only just noticed that the bike I bought for my daughter from Evans cycles has the front forks on back to front.

I don't know who's the biggest idiot, them for putting the forks on wrong or me for not noticing.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Them mate. Defined them.

[Paulie Dangerously]

No idea how anyone could enjoy running more than cycling.

Don't feel like I get anything out of it exercise wise but a sore arse.

I'm doing Amy's Gran Fondo on Sunday, 120km around the Otways and Great Ocean Road.

Here's the course:

 

 

And the profile:

 

 

Not really looking forward to the second hill, but once at the top of that it should be plain sailing, hopefully.

Will this be a challenge or just a nice day out for you?

Hope you stick your legs out at the top of that second hill and go "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" all the way down

[Sweeney287]

Bloody hell, that second hill is effectively 26km long. Fuck that shit!

 

Great fun on the way down though!

Bit of a challenge. I normally do 70 or 80 km on a Sunday morning with a couple of mates, but with a cafe stop half way.

Have put in a couple of 100s in training the last few weeks. Never with that much climbing though.

If you ever attempt 500 miles, I'm told the best thing to do is practise on an exercise bike first.

[Dougie Do'ins]

 

Lands End to Lanlivery. 70 odd miles. Tough going.

 

Today out of Cornwall and cross in to Devon to Whiddon Down. Only 56 miles but much harder than yesterday.

 

Set off tomorrow to Bridgewater.

 

[Champ]

Get some NSFW tags out for all that exposed flesh, Dougie!

[Dougie Do'ins]

Day 3 out the way. Crossed in to Somerset and arrived in Bridgewater. Another 57 miles chipped of the total.

[Mook]

Hats off to you, Dougie, that's some effort.

 

I hope there's a nice pint waiting for you at the end of it all.

[Dougie Do'ins]

Day 4 done and 71 miles off the total. My ring peice is in bulk.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

What's the plan Dougie? Have I missed the post? What's the journey/distance?

Land End to John O' Groats over 15 days. Did the photo not give you a hint ?

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Lads end means nothing to me, being from Northern Ireland.

I should hope not.

I should hope not.

Fucking autocorrect.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

 

I love it. Was cycling about in the rain. Now my daughters off school she doesn't want to go out in the rain (although it's much heavier now). All I want to do is cycle.

[Champ]

Hallelujah!

[Dougie Do'ins]

Day 5 out the way. 85 miles. Should have only been 80 but had to divert in to Ludlow to buy a new saddle. Cross the border back in to England tomorrow from Shropshire to Acton Bridge in Cheshire. Hoping to make it in time to watch the reds.
