I nearly choked when i saw a 74 k ride, my immediate thought was"Stu is getting soft" ,But kudos for a massive week mate, i only just managed to keep you at bay, now if you don't mind would you please get back to worksli123 wrote:My last day of Annual Leave today. On my 7 days off I managed to squeeze in 723km of cycling, a 10km run and a 7km run. Was attempting to do 1 x 100km+ ride each day but only managed the first 6 days. Got to 74km today, it was a little windy (not much!) and I'd had enough. Legs were still going ok, considering.
Now, I just need o catch back up to TimW!!

Thanks mate, I'm still hopeful you can get there as well.TimW wrote:Huge Kudos to Dimma, for completing the Nuun twice the tour challenge on Strava, having cycled over 1500 MILES this month, top effort mate, I hope those 3am starts were worth it. Tim
I'm relieved there's no new challenge for June, 3 in a row might be the end of me.

Hey mate, sorry I misread your post. May I ask what made you choose to ride a trike... How do you find it compared to a two wheeler? I'm Assuming your working harder with the extra weight and resistance..!Baalzamon wrote:I've already had a cyclist yell out SWAP when I was on my 100km ride last sunday And to boot the are fun.

I've got a (healing) frayed suprasinitis tendon in my left shoulder. I can't ride my Masi until it heals Even tho I can ride my Thorn I can't sustain rides over 50km really only on a recumbent can I as the shoulder is no longer actively bearing any weight. I would have bought a trike instead of my Thorn but I would have had to buy new panniers last year so I go the Thorn. I'm selling that one now soon lolLivetoride wrote:Hey mate, sorry I misread your post. May I ask what made you choose to ride a trike... How do you find it compared to a two wheeler?

Speed compared to my Thorn, can't really compare it to my Masi tho
Average speed is up even tho it has 3 2" tyres on it. I do notice ANY slight climb on it. On my normal commute I wouldn't perceive some inclines that I can now spot on my trike. But then again I do notice any decline immediately
No one except another trike can draft me now It's fun drafting roadies on it haha, just wait until I get my wheel covers and fairing

Pics for my trike can be found http://bicycles.net.au/forums/viewtopic ... 29&t=52369 But I have altered it somewhat since then so need to take more photos.

Amazingly, allowing for my time off the bike earlier this year, I am doing about the same volume of riding as I did in training back then!
Thanks guys - everyone's support and enthusiasm has been a fantastic motivator!

Anyway, that damn red arrow is getting away from me despite 170km over the long weekend. Hard to keep the mileage up in the winter. And I've got to travel overseas for a week next month which will not help.

Cracked the 5,000 km mark (yea!), but also had a run in with a police woman on Beach Rd....
I was riding with a mate who came out without eating and of course he bonked. After getting him something to eat we were taking it slowly (about 20kph) near Half Moon Bay when a police car came up behind and gave us a short burst of the siren. It then came alongside and the police woman in the passenger seat told us we should be on the bike path. It then accelerated off leaving both of us gob smacked at the bizarre behavior!

Monday's ride was bloody freezing started out at just over 2 degrees with some serious fog, not the best visibility but it was great fun none the less.
TDF next week, was thinking how COOL would it be to have your indoor trainer right In front of a huge screen so you can watch the tour and ride with them AWESOME I TELL YA.... Such a great idea

Doh... Your right got carried away... Told te boss I may be late in on some mornings throughout the TDF, and his reply was no problems....cooooolBaalzamon wrote:Think you got your dates muddled, 30th June is when it startsLivetoride wrote:TDF next week, was thinking how COOL would it be to have your indoor trainer right In front of a huge screen so you can watch the tour and ride with them AWESOME I TELL YA....

And Andy is out of the TDF haven't read why yet, am wondering if it's the director sportif of the team that's caused that.... One less person for our Cadel to worry bout, should be a good battle with Wiggins. Though I thing BMC team need to train harder at staying with Cadel right till the line, he can't afford to be isolated at the end in the TDF like he was last week.
