The road is long...

If anything, the results are consistant. Average speed and cadence don't alter much. I'm just really wanting a new bike now!

Cycling through Sand!?!

What is happening to my bike ride? It just seems to be getting slower and more hard work? The weight I'm carrying isn't getting any larger and my fitness in running and swimming is increasing. I'll check my tyres are pumped up on the trip home and see if some extra effort is needed, but it just seemed like I was cycling through sand this morning.

Sunny ride home

The pedal on my bike is clicking so loudly now that no matter how loud I've got Rage Against The Machine playing on my ipod I can still hear it. I'm either going to buy a new bike or pedals with cleats.

Frosty Morning

I thought this morning's trip would've been faster than it was as when I got on the bike at 6.30am this morning the temperature was minus moscow! I pedalled as hard as I could to keep warm and had to pretend I was playing the piano to stop my fingers from going numb!

Going Home

I'm not into making excuses for poor performance, but on the trip home on friday besides having to stop off to have a quick wee (no one saw me even though it was incredibly busy on the track when normally I don't see a soul, sod's law!), my bike was creaking a lot. It was a combination of my right pedal and the gears making noises. Makes me think I'll be buying a road bike sooner than I thought.

To Work

Success on the way home!

I don't know if you've noticed but there are only times for one way for each date. I do cycle home as well but until today my bike computer hasn't worked on the way home. I think it did wonders for my time as it usually takes more than an hour but seeing my speed and cadence really helped motivate me.

This latest ride took me through some VERY muddy trails, which I don't mind but I had to clean the dirt from the work bathroom after my shower and it isn't the best route so I won't be using it again
