I've just been on a bike ride!
Not only that, it's going to be a regular thing. It's nothing to do with all that bunny-hugging baloney, and not even because of the credit crunch. Basically, I decided about three weeks ago to go full-pelt at losing some weight. Done a stone already (as of today!) through sheer bloody-mindedness when it comes to my eating habits. Now, I'm introducing exercise. Thing is, I quite enjoyed the bike ride. Only did about 5-6 miles, but I was amazed at how quickly I could cover that distance in! How long before I start dressing up like a gimp before my daily outing? -------------------- Anglers' Net Shopping Partners - Please Support Your Forum

Funny that Elton I just bought myself a mountain bike at the weekend and I fixed Sue's up as well.
Thankfully the North Kent marshes are nice and flat and crossed with cycle ways so we will be plodding around there. -------------------- Tony

I'm 3 stone lighter since last December. A combination of change of diet, walking and cycling.
Cal me Alan the 'Buffet Slayer'! Mind you, many more of these rabbit food meals will have me sporting a pair of long, floppy ears and a pom-pom on my a55! -------------------- This is a signature, there are many signatures like it but this one is mine

i cant abide the excuse for saddles when your 18 stone your bum feels like its on a razor blade ,even the gel ones are rubbish what happened to the nice wide watsonian versions of my youth? now they dont even have saddle bags for your tools or even bloody mud guards that cheerily rattle as you ride
 the gears grind they never did that on my freddy grub This post has been edited by chesters1: Jun 25 2009, 04:13 PM -------------------- the Nazis didn't lose ww2 they just moved to America and the UK
its easier cursing the darkness than lighting a candle anyone that says something is foolproof has never met a determined fool anyone that says something is unbreakable really hasn't tried hard enough |

Now that we've got a car we can fit the bikes in, we're planning to go a lot further afield. Just riding round the local area gets a bit boring.
