I'm going on Sunday! Two tickets for £30 using code BS12.
I didn't ride in either, roads looked a bit dodgy out where I live so I went by train. Hope they're OK tonight!

Bleh. Don't fancy cycling in this snow and ice. Too cold and dangerous. Wish I had a turbo trainer.

Snowmageddon's cancelled. It's stopped snowing.

You should commute to work you know Pete. If someone with a few extra pounds like me can ride decently from it you'd be well sorted.

I think I'll get the train back. My eyes still hurt from this morning

 

[chanjy]

Apparently London bike show is pretty crap - not much stuff on show, can't test ride or buy anything either?

yeah that was painful..

 

[Murf]

Gonna be 3 days on the turbo at this rate. Sigh.

Hoping to get out to East Kilbride tomorrow very early and get in 40 miles in the freezing cold. Had it on reasonably good authority that, like Glasgow, the temperature is low but there is hardly a patch of ice anywhere. Fingers crossed that remains.

I'm going to venture outside probably with some comedy off's.

I've explored a ridiculous amount of avenues on potential bikes & builds recently and they all lead back to Canyon in the end!

The downside is the GBP/EUR Rate has taken a dive from 1.24 last week to 1.19 today and the price on the Canyons has gone up between £40-60 on most of their bikes.

the canyons do seem untouchable in terms of value and performance

Hi all,
I've got a bit of a problem when I'm am cycling while I'm at university at Ayr.
After about 10-15 miles of cycling my chest and lungs start to really hurt and continues to hurt for a while after.
But when I'm at home on the Shropshire/Welsh border I can do 50/60 miles fine and chest/lungs don't start to hurt at all.
Could it be the sea air?
I've been at uni at Ayr for 1 year and 4 months now but only been cycling up here for 4 months. and only got till 6th June till I finish my HND. but would like to do more than 15 miles.

Thanks

anyone?

 

[grudas]

the roads are simply wet at best.. theres no snow on them in here..

 

[uniQ]

Ok that wasn't the brightest idea I've ever had. It's literally an ice rink out there.

 

[PermaChanged]

anyone?

Can't really help as such, but I cycle round Guernsey, so basically all sea air, and I occassionally get the sore chest lungs. I think it depends on the amount of moisture in the air.
