Well it is now a ridiculously long time since I added anything to this website, so i thought I would now!
Went on a fantastic cycling weekend with some mates up in my home county of Northumberland. We cycled from Morpeth, along to hadrians wall and then up to Once Brewed YHA. About 40 miles, but not really more than a warm up. Unfortunately one of our new arrivals to the group (the last trip we did was the coast to coast, this time we had lost a recruit from that trip but got another willing recruit) slightly underestimated how much work even just 40 miles is, it took a long time to get there, but we did!
The next day the lost recruit turned up in his car, and unfortunately his replacement dropped out due to the results of saddles on an untrained bum and hills on untrained legs. It rained and rained so we spent the morning waiting it out in the visitors centre and a museum. Finally we went off for a cycle to Bellingham, which involved some excellent fast bridleways. Very rocky but my road bike and tyres didn't have a problem and I managed to keep up with the rest on their mountain bikes.
Last day involved too much mud on the off roads for skinny road tyres, but I made it up most of the hills. A great holiday, perhaps I may put up some photos when I can be arsed!
Been running a bit recently, cycling a bit and playing rugby which seems to stop me running and cycling for half a week due to broken bits of my anatomy (back, knees, shoulders, ankles, legs etc.). So not really pushing it too much.
Found a great website for some pretty good rants. Sent an email thanking the author and got this reply:
>Thanks for your effort, I love finding information like this on the web.
" You're very welcome.
Always have time for a man who going weight-weenie over a Planet X bike...

Cheers, Sam" |
