Is anyone heading out tonight since it rained last night ?

Yeh I'll probably head out if the rain stays away. I won't be able to keep up with you though Pete :cry:

I hope to but wouldn't be at the starting point by 6pm. More like 7pm I reckon.

by **Spiza** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 3:14 pm

I've got plenty of work to do so I'm happy to make it 7pm and join you Simon. Is that ok with you? Pete?

by **Boognoss** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 3:30 pm

I'm cool with that Spiza. If you don't see a dude on an Avanti Corsa by a few mins past 7 leave me behind. I'll probalby have been caught (AT) work or worse ;-)

its been 4 weeks since i last rode.. jumped on the trainer last night and OMGosh... it was so bloody hard.. managed 40mins.. i think is an alright attempt.

On the plus side my running has improved.. anyways dunno how i got to that story..

will join u guys next monday. Tonight is way too cold for my liking..

Cheers

Hmm, we could ride at 7:00pm if you like..... however I don't have a front light, was going to borrow that from Don but he's not going. Hate to be the party spoiler, I might hit the trainer for a while tonight instead..Pains me not to go outside for a ride however Carol has just gotten off night shift and I think I need to stay home even if its only to make a crapload of noise on the trainer :-)

Cheers..Pete

by **Addict** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 4:00 pm

Sandman, what trainer did u get in the end?

by **sandman** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 4:04 pm

Addict

I bought a JetBlack unit. Has the variable resistance device on it, cable clips onto bars. Bought in Adelaide shop for $220AUS. Resistance is ok though I've found that I just leave it on the hardest setting and vary the gear and cadence for now. Will have to fire up the spinerval DVD and git it a whirl :-)

Cheers

`Pete,

No drama. I will ride no matter what. If anyone else shows up great :-)

Sorry guys..got an early 65k's in, just got back

by **Spiza** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 6:04 pm

It looks like we might have a few for next week if the weather is good. See you soon Boogy.

Sweet, see you at 7 (leaving in a few mins)

by **Spiza** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 2:42 pm

I met up with Boognoss last night and rode my usual 50Km Norwest to Horsley Dr return. I had trouble keeping up even though he rode at half pace so I could

. I really need to ride more. Anywho, thanks for the company Simon and sorry for the slow pace.

by **Boognoss** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 3:39 pm

Nice to meet you too Spiro. I wasn't exactly at half pace, but it was a nice cruise for a change. Riding solo I can never hold back and not push myself to the limit ;-)

. Riding and chatting is great. On a lighter bike you'll be faster

c'mon Simon, admit it, you were struggling to keep up with Spiro and just made out that you were taking it easy :lol:

LOL, nah it would be too hard to be going flat out and trying not to look like I was dying :-)

. I'm blaming Spiro for my desire to add a MTB to my "collection". I'm never satisfied with what I have....

I really hope to get out on the cycleway with you guys in the future at the normal time. Just hard when I don't commute like you do Don!

Ok maybe it was closer to quater :wink:

The bike could be as light as a feather but I don't think it's going to make much of a difference with 90kg sitting on top of it :lol:

Nope definitely not a quarter (and no, it wasn't less than that either ;-)

).

I'm about 85kg on a good day. I just moved most of it into ridiculously bulky leg muscles (IMHO) at the gym before I discovered the joy of being outside and yelled at my random motorists :roll:

. You should see my "before" pictures from 2003-2004 when I was about 3 or 4 clothes sizes larger. Scary.

You did well mate!!

thanks
