I don't have a cold etc. Just leaden legs, no energy on the bike. Off the bike I'm lively. What gives? Its exactly like both brakes are rubbing bad.
Are both brakes rubbing bad? Forks gubbed?
wheels weight twice as much in combination with increase rolling resistance saps it out of the legs.

It's the good Lord telling you to have a break.
Jesus telling you to give me your bike?
Too much apple pie?
me too hora - having a week off. With having a kid i feel like i HAVE to ride regradles sof tiredness or underlying illness. Then i feel shitter etc so have decided a week off is a good plan.
Sambob I no longer own a turner!
Steve, I'm 16stone- a stone over ideal. Stupidly I worked hard at the gym for 2 weeks and built my top half too much.
how can you build your top half in two weeks.. answer, u cant.
[i]I'm 16stone- a stone over ideal.[/i]
Unless you're 6'6" I'd suggest your more than a stone over... 😉
you clearly need a new bike
hora i am 6ft 2 and 12.5 stone, i consider myself to be carrying 1/2 to 1 stone too much, are you peter crouchs fat brother?
are you peter crouchs fat brother?
Sorry, but 😆
As a fellow chunkster I find that when the ground is soft or it's windy it gets disproportionately more difficult for me. Like wise, lots of variations in gradient, particularly if they are steep, seem to get me going backwards. But every dog has his day and on the right routes it really gets up the skinny boys' noses when 17st of beer monster hands them their arse on a plate. Try different tyres or a different routine for a while.
Cruz, you must look funny.
LOL @ Realman and the OP.
it must have been only 6 weeks since the new, new turner was the bestest, bestest, over and above the old turner?
genius.
Cruz if I dropped 1stone I'd be at my ideal weight for my build. I was 12.5stone when I was 16 and I looked like I'd been released from Belsen. I rode a roadbike fast however that's not what I personally want from life. 
Del the Specialized Enduro is a far better frame. Sadly it doesn't have boutique or carpark bling cache. It doesn't require faff setting up and I don't care if its dirty. Perfect as I never wash or clean my frames. 8)
This isn't a thread about a new frame. If I was going to get one itd be a c456 not a gearqueer frame. 😉
buttercup - MemberCruz, you must look funny.
explain?
Hora - how tall are you? to be that weight and healthy BMI you would need to be 6ft 4"+

whatever works dude...
6ft1.6, 15stone 12lb, BMI 28.9.
I don't go by BMI. I'm quite sturdy. I'd look terrible as a 'bird 8)
so essentially my height and 3 1/2 stone heavier?
thats like carting my dauhter round in the trailer
lol@ 6ft 1.6 😀
i'm 6ft 2 😉 15st 7 according to the chart above i'm borderline obese
old age is catching up with you Hora, time to get an electric bike mate to get you up the hills 😉
I'm more interested in your upper body program...
Cruz I hear you but that's cycling weight ideal. I'm quite top heavy/broad. Its a compromise.
Saying that I'm dropping a stone (12lb) within a month.
stone is 14lb hora
Do you warm up properly? Do a decent hill climb or something to get your heart rate up, I find I feel pretty lethargic unless I do this.
How are you sleeping?
Interesting. I find that it can take me 30mins to get my heart going. Sometimes it never happens (breathless) other times I have steady breath throughout.
Heart attack!

This.
I felt very lethargic today, but after 90mins riding and a reasonable amount of climbing I was fit to do another couple of hours.
Heart attack!
Yeah, thats what I aim for.
You could probably lose a bit of weight though, Im 6'2" but about 5 stone lighter than you. Fortunately I havent died yet, but unfortunately I look Ill. You could probably strike a better ballance, say 12 stone?
Sleeping badly- 18month old boy. David agree but I feel good at 15stone. I'll drop to 14.5 and see how it feels.
i think the sleep thing is whats doing me - usually 6hrs max but i am not relaxing as i know i may be woken up!!
I thought I'd had all my Xmas presents, but a Hora thread is the gift that keeps on giving.
😉
Bloody hell Im obese!
Yes you are.
I am perfectly healthy, however, you'll be pleased to hear. 😀
I'm 6'1" and 12 and a bit stone, could do with being a bit lighter though. Or turn my winter insulation into muscle. Are you really 6'2"?
given the title there's a simple answer. Give your balls a break and time to recharge 😉
