You need to give time for your joints and tendons to strengthen. Although your muscles quickley adapt, your joints take more time. Good running shoes correctly fitted (by far the majority of people have a neutral foot),warming up and warming down will all help to reduce injury. Gentle stretching only for warm up, then gentle running. Then do your run and the same to warm down.

Usually gloves.

I don’t think Contadors crash was in the last 3km. It’s a big deficit. They are right to be panicing. What grounds do they have for a reduction to 34secs?

My brothers lad is 16 and 6’10”. He’s still growing. God help us he’s a monster.

Adjusting the position of the mech on the seat tube may help.

My wife is a women and i resent this

I liked that blokes jacket

In my experience it takes seconds.

Cheers Sharki. I’ll be in touch.

surely there’s some middle ground here?

I like the badgers. Who is this sharki?

+1 setting on fire. Although I didn’t see it.

Well for one thing you can usually go as fast as you like without bumping into walkers/horses/dogs…..usually.

I’ve known a lot of very strong weedy blokes. I think size has very little to do with strength. Therefore I believe Redthunder’s nan’s story.

Cheers knottie8. Let me know if you’re free.

Good pic. My girl was just about there ysterday as well. Happy days.

If you look on the end of the pedal axle, there is a fitting for a allen key.

saris bones 2What about this then. Anyone got one.

Grum – How much do you want for it and where are you?

Yes. I suspected that the tow bars ones are better. I may be changing the car soon so didn’t want to go to the expense of a tow bar. But defo don’t want to lose my bike of the back. Hmmm

The Pennines.

Dunk it in white spirit. Scrub with old toothbrush. Dry thoroughly with rag. Apply lube. Wipe off excess. Be happy.

Hang on.

“It would take an elephant, balanced on a pencil, to break through a sheet of graphene the thickness of Saran Wrap [cling film].”

Thats not proof of strength.

Probably watch youve been framed or something. Then have a beer.

It can’t be moving an inch if the bearing are worn. It must be something to do with the caliper.

Are the pads moving?

Are we talking fully sussed or hardtail?

I heard somewhere that nettle stings can prevent you getting arthtritis in later life. Could it be true?

The stings always seem stronger this time of year.

Yes. I must think of the children.

Ive got 2 mountain bikes, but i’m starting to want a road bike. Help me

Good album cover

No way. Leave it open to the air. Wear shorts.

Had it for a couple of years a while back. It’s a repetetive strain injury which I got from a particular spraying contract I had. It was extremely painful. Rest didn’t help. Eventually a friend of mine started giving it regular, very painful massages. Something to do with knots on the tendons or something. He used his knuckle quite violently to push them out. Well painful but damn well worked. Probably something like brokensoul is describing.

I’m in Taunton at the inlaws in a month or so and the Quantocks look good. Good to see pics.

The gorilla did better than i thought.

Grizzly i think.

Where is it?

Looks like UK are out which is just as well because this kind of thing should never be encouraged. We did invent the Beatles you know.

I had 1.25 cu/m of concrete delivered this morning for £150. Done in 10 mins and a proper solid base.
