The thing is to take it easy…..dont give up, as muppetWrangler said ‘Ability comes and goes throughout your lifetime but desire is the thing’

Anyway I’m building up a new hardtail for my 65th birthday 😀

Makes my leaves on the cycle track seem limp 😉

I’d rather not, looking at some of the riding skills around and I can ride it any day of the week…..1/2 hr away 🙂

….now L`eroica for 35 quid with food and wine supplied, sounds brilliant!

Only 5.5 miles but in summer sweat like hell plus in winter I don’t want to work in wet clothes 🙂

Plus do interval sprints, great fun

Brilliant thread!

Horrible person

Large relates to a 56cm, BearBack has it right, xl would be like a gate!

Guy in work bought a Speedster he is around 6′ 3″, he got an XL…..its a big bike!

Very nice, nice to have a splash of yellow with all that black.

That cat looks as though its already been attended to!

I love Champagne…..especially when its free!

Love the “What Smoking Jacket?” thread idea

165….but I am Hobbit sized

Years, but I do have 4 sets of mtb shoes!

Well I like Froome and he is way more interesting to watch riding than Wiggo

Amazing cars, we’ve had 3…people don’t think, you really have to DRIVE them, think ahead and wind up what power you have, plus be confident on corners….it’s a drivers car

Lovely when its sunny and brilliant in snow.

But a bugger to start when its wet.

Traded last one in for a Renault 5 turbo, dealers face was a picture

Hate Marmite squeezy, ugh….

Things get better when you get addicted to Strava at 64 😉

Its getting really bad, its all so terribly Blue Peter for the countryside…

weather forecast is good tho 🙂

+1 2CV unstoppable

Most fun I’ve had in the snow, left all the other cars.

I was the only car driving down the M4 slaloming along 🙂

Terrible approach to the environment….people do not give a sh_t

Some people drop them over the end of bridge, which ends up in a mound of poo bags and there is a dog bin within sight…..lazy buggers

Really annoys me 🙁

One for the dogs….
