My excuse is a herniated disc. I've been off the bike for 2 months now but hoping to slowly get back on it over the next couple of months in time for 2011 😐
So why aren't you out riding instead of "wasting" your time on here?
i need to drive across the country for a training week next week. at least it's only 50 miles from snowdon 🙂
I'm going to in about 20 minutes...
cos i got back from a weeks riding holiday in wales yesterday.......and i am fubared.
and my grandaughter came to sleep and is using me as a climbing frame................ 8)
wife in work I'm "entertaining" the kids with some disney before we go to the country park for fun in the mud 😉
I got in from last night an hour ago and have not yet consumed the requisite amount of coffee 🙂
Went out, rode, came back.
Simples 🙂
Went out yesterday, things to do today, might sneak an hour in when the wife ain't looking
All good excuses so far.
There is nothing that makes you appreciate riding like an enforced break. It's been killing me to watch the summer pass by without riding my bike.
At least I used to down time to fit a new kitchen, I should have enough brownie points for plenty of muddy rides when I'm back to full strength 🙂
4 bikes and 4 different problems rendering each bike unrideable!!! Plus I can take advantage of the free time to do things at home and there's plenty of time during the week to make up for it. 😀
Good luck with the recovery.
Chainsaw in the shin last weekend. Stitches out on Friday. Mellow spin on the CX bike this afternoon. Off to the States in a week of so for a months riding in Oregon and Washington, so I dont want to do any more serious damage before I go.
King sized hangover after post 10 More in moray drinks last night. I have ridden every day for over 2 weeks. Think I'll have a day off. Maybe.
Working a 12 hour shift in Port Talbot steelworks. What's more frustrating is that it's great riding weather and I have to drive past Cwmcarn on my way here and the way home, Afan is 15 mins from where I work. 🙁
Going to the beach with my sprog in a few minutes. Sandcastle building duties for now, jam making after lunch, fitting a brake and a quick spin in the evening.
I'm off to the Ochils in 10 minutes. The joys of living in Scotland! Pre ride cup of tea and surf.......
still recovering from 2 broken writsts and a broken collarbone...
I'm at work in 7mins 🙁
woke up to go touched snooze...............the rest is fubbar...
Will get out solo later!!
Riding the motorcycle to Bedford for a grilling by the DSA. In the rain. Ghey.
Went out yesterday and looking after the kids today.
Did 20 miles yesterday in the pis#ing rain,Will get a ride in later,Might take the DH bike out and have a play.And trying to find accommodation for S-wales,So i can ride Afan,Cwmcarn
dont like exercise first thing in the morning
i'm convinced its no good for you 😉
Running in the morning = 🙁
Riding in the morning = 🙂
Waiting for my morning 'movement' then I'll be out. Or I could go now and lean up against a tree in 45mins.
Oh what the hell, I'm going now. If your in the Clwydians later on, watch your step if your in the area of Moel-y-Parc.
Working overseas, so no biking till September the 8th for me. A month cold turkey so far...
*shakes*
I went out for a ride yesterday morning and it was my birthday yesterday so I'm taking it easy today. Gonna do some light cd shopping and then may nip out to rivi this afternoon
Went out for a short local XC loop yesterday and am going Cannock tuesday. Today I am being lazy.
Only just got home from the Trans-Wales. All kit in the process of being washed. 3 loads done, 2 more to go plus tent to dry out.
But at least my bike is still in good working order. Looking forward to puting the fitness to good use in coming weeks.
Just back from the Alps so chilling. 8)

Going out to play a gig in a hour or so.. A bit gutted as my club are doing a ride and BBQ just down the road ;(
work at odd hours 🙁
Went out yesterday. Today I'll wash the bike and try to work out what the annoying click is that's coming from my Stumpy's headset.
Was out yesterday, today I'm getting the bike Alp ready before I go on Thursday.
Been, gone, done it already. Shall repeat in an 1/2hour, or so! 😆
The nipper cutting 5 teeth so if he isn't sleeping neither are we :lol:.
Raining, and I was out yesterday for an all day ride that turned into a session at the jumps untill I didnt have the strength in my legs left to ride home!
On the plus side I can now jump all the jumps at Swinley to flat! Not i just need to work on getting some height and some tricks 🙂
Out at 6:45 bit of pixie working, a fast xc 10 mile loop on mendip and back already, bike washed and getting tribes bikes ready for holidays next weekend 😆
Went out yesterday, working on my book today, being a free spirit (i.e. unemployed) I can write and bike as and when my inspiration, creativity and weather take me. 🙂
Got a 25 mile ride planned later with a roast dinner at the destination 8)
Been this morning, blast round the dog and monkey, now home to do so im told normal sunday things!!
Trail-building and then riding this afternoon. Stood in a field this morning while partner picked berries.
Torn trapezius. The annoying thing is it doesn't hurt that much until I start doing something like cycling, and then it just spasms every 30 seconds or so and massively hurts.
Although if I had been ok it would've taken some motivation today, its absolutely pouring. I suppose I should hypothetically mtfu.
Had a quick 25 on the road bike earlier, off out for Sunday dinner in a bit...starving!
All done and dusted by 08.45 this morning. Nice traditional xc loop on the hardtail and could then sample the delights of Tesco with Mrs gtth. Still - it's good for brownie point accumulation. Did the same yesterday - 26 miles on the roadbike before brekkie and a 'normal' day thereafter (plus that was the best weather of the day by miles!) It all goes to help the karma for the full day out passes. 🙂
been out, on the road
I was ossum - passed loads of riders, inc some small groups. Then somebody took my photo at the finish of the .... CHARITY FUN RIDE ??!! Bugger, maybe I'm not cancellara
(the following mile or two after the finish are gently uphill. Some young bloke overtook me at the start of it and was about 250yds ahead by the top 😳 )
Supposed to be halfway up Ben Lomond by now, but the weather is grim!!
Bike tinkering & watching touring cars instead.
Was working for 20 hours on Friday, then worked yesterday, working again today. Can not beat disasters at your customers.
It does look lovely and sunny out of the window but at least I can tell myself all the trails round Bristol will be quagmires at the moment 🙁
working in africa.
There is a 10000ft volcano behind the house and im sure it has some trails on it but not allowed to go + no bike haha
Children, rain, tescos, blah blah blah.....
Done 130 miles or so this week though so don't feel too guilty.
Done the washing and hung it out, tidied up kitchen, just got to dishes after a bit of lunch then out with my daughter for a couple of hours.
Joys of single parenting!
Huge hangover after going to V Festival yesterday!
Last of 7 nightshifts tonight followed by 15 days off, yeehaa!
Will be testing the new Orange this week!
We were supposed to be down the beach at the air festival but it looks like a write off like yesterday was.
12hr shift 0630-18.30. Having 1st break now. its been busy 🙁
holp crap, man!Chainsaw in the shin last weekend
Just got back from the alps for 2 weeks and has got some rather excited border collies wanting to be trained to work sheep
erm now its afternoon I was out at 9.30 - did a very poor attempt at a 80Km training run around Dartmoor inc Dartmeet, Widecomme Hill and Doccombe - Now for a sleep 🙁 But I still got chores to do - Some hoovering next 🙁
On standby and already been called out once this morning with possibly more call outs this evening.
Not allowed. But am working near cannock tomorrow so i'll take the bike and ride the bsard in the rain if i have to.
got a unplanned ride around Mabie this am and this pm will rebuild the DH bike.
Having a day off. Rode every day from sunday to friday last week and at least 2 of the rides were bigger than any one I've ever done before, so I reckon I'm allowed.
Went out running instead.
Still waiting for me legs to start functioning properly again.
