25 minutes?!? Had you pushed the bike the whole way previously?

 

Oh and remember to press Start the next time

Ouch!

As I’d said from the beginning I was walking the 3 hills, never tried to hide that.

 

After an 8 mile ride in and then lumping boxes of bananas around for 8 hours I’m fucked when I then try and get home.

 

I’d pressed start - went to set off and realised I hadn’t turned my lights on, sorted them and it didn’t resume.

[lifetime fan]

You'll be joining Dougie and Champ cycling around the country soon. Well done.

 

No fucking chance!

 

Means to an end is all.

Can you not just pick up a cheap old runaround? Surely you can find a banger purely for getting to and from work for £300-£400?

Totally skint at the moment mate - hence doing I job a hate, for a shit company and racist cunt staff.

 

I don’t plan on being there long - definitely not past the summer! I do like the rapid weight loss so I’ll just do it and moan like fuck about it constantly for a few months.

Fucking scumbags nicked mine whilst I was at work yesterday- came armed with bolt cutters twats!!!

 

3 weeks old, bought on Cyclescheme haven’t even made first payment yet

 

Shitty twat cunting thieving lowlife wankers

[lifetime fan]

Utter vermin.

 

Hopefully whoever stole it was wiped out by a van driver as they rode it away.

[lifetime fan]

Any chance you can claim on your home insurance mate?

[lifetime fan]

Have you got a screenshot of the elevation so we can all laugh at you?

 

Still can’t complete that first spike.

Aye that looks pretty feisty (especially with numbers in feet rather than metres).

You probably know this already, but just put it in a really low gear and keep the pedals going around. It’s the best way up steep bastards.

Sadly they’d be in the van, there’s no way they could’ve removed the lock on it without some kind of angle grinder, there no sign of that

 

They used bolt cutters to remove it from my daughters bike (which they kindly left) and the bar that it was secured to the wall. Two locks didn’t stop them

 

Second one nicked in 9 months

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Jesus. Scumbags. I'm lucky to have an indoor swipe-pass secured bike shed in work. With CCTV etc.

 

I was however looking into a hidden GPS solution in case it gets pinched elsewhere. Anyone recommend any that are on the market?

It's my now annual Ride to the Sun event this Saturday night...leaving Carlisle in the evening to Cramond (on the outskirts of Edinburgh) in time for the sunrise.

 

I've not been on a bike since I finished my Coast to Coast Ride. I'm planning to get out for a ride tomorrow but here's hoping I've not lost too much fitness in the past couple of weeks

I love cycling but that's a dick move from cyclists.

Nightmare. Heading down to Carlisle on the train to meet Mr C to do the Carlisle to Cramond bike ride. He’s just phoned to say his bike’s died and may not be fixable to get him back. I think I may be doing this thing on my own. Yikes

[Champ]

It wasn’t the night I’d planned with Mr C being unable to ride his bike so I ended up doing the ride on my own.

Maybe a bit more challenging but I finished feeling quite pleased with my efforts

I really don't understand how it days you can only burn 1672kcals in 5+ hours. What was your average HR?

It’s about right. I work on 300 calories an hour being about right for cycling. I’m just far too efficient

AHH, I've never really done rides much more than an hour. Plus I haven't stuck at it long enough to become that efficient. My average HR for my 17 mile commute was 160bpm or thereabouts.

I was being flippant about the ‘efficient’ because it’s a bit galling to put in all that effort only to have used 300 calories

There might be a truth in it though. You'd probably burn twice as much per hour if it was an hour sprint. I'd guess.

You couldn’t sprint for an hour but I know what you mean
