Two weeks off the bike has put me 125km behind but I should be able to hunt that down fairly quickly.

I ordered a u-beaut AIr Saddle online last night. Hopefully it will make my rides more comfortable (some riders find them not to their liking) as I'd like to continue with the current riding pattern but I am starting to have some sit-bone and chaffign issues.
I figure I should be on the list of those who should have one. Perhaps I won't need to keep on stopping to adjust the squiggly bits in public so much.

Is there anything else that I have to do to give effect to this on my sig/status bar? Or does it just automatically flow thru to here?

The goals were to not stop, and try and average over 28kph.

Oh well, one out of 2 isn't bad. I did have 2 very short stops. One to adjust my helmet strap after 12kms. And one at about 85 for road works.

You should come to Brisbane in October and do the B2CG ride, in the earlier waves it's possible to do the whole 100ks without a stop!norbs wrote:Well I ground out my 25th Century of the year this morning.

I think I snapped a bone spur off my elbow on Saturday and it's floating around in there somewhere. Makes it hard to stand up and pedal.
I rode 14kms on the MTB this arvo and killed everytime I had to lift up the front of the bike to go over a log.

Realised this morning my front tyre has seen active duty on two bikes and nearly 20,000km. If it wasn't for the two massive splits right across the centre of the tread I reckon it'd have another couple thousand left in it.

I kicked off my training for the Alpine classic this morning, met up with an old audax friend and did a repeat on Macquarie Pass. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but it was a great ride, and I even managed to set a new PR and a second best time on the full ascent, plus a PR on the descent - perfect run, no traffic to slow us down. I've always been a reluctant climber, though just lately I'm finding it really enjoyable.

I am 1kg lighter than I was in December last year, so I am hoping to drop another few seconds off before summer ends.
