you only ever look at one side of the bike at a time
Time to buy a dura ace rear shifter and NDS crank arm, and make sure people never look at the other side of the bike...
This could save a lot of cleaning time as well, now I think about it.

Cool - it would be good to ride together
I'm out tomorrow evening so Wednesday looks unlikely, perhaps Liam will be up for it?The green machine is my indefatigable former house mate and now occasional riding partner, Andy Greenleaf. Predominantly a runner (28th in the London marathon) but now going in to triathlon. You can have a read of his exploits on his blog if you google him. Last year when I was starting to ride we did a lot of RP sessions together but he's pushing his training so I don't ride with him so much at the moment. I have a week of suffering in the Alps with him to look forward to though - wish me luck!!!
I thought this earlier, when I was riding in the rain at 12c and we brought our stop early because it was so horrible, although this evening is absolutely gorgeous, just that constant wind isn't going away!

We better get an awesome August and September.

This week and weekend aren't looking great either :/
Hoping to get out a fair bit though. At this rate I'm seriously considering making regular use of the turbo again.

He is the guy who put in a respectable 49min 3-lap challenge. I think he is in the same club as Chris Nicholls.

Ah wow, does sound like a machine! Fair play, I'm doing crystal palace tomorrow night too so Wednesday not the best. Will get something organised soon. Would be good to get another London ride going.

Going to Ibiza for a week on Saturday night a long shot but has anyone been cycling over there ?
Anything wrong with these routes ?

Back on the bike after a weekend of not doing much (though my laughably short 2 mile run has left my legs knackered 
). Ran into OneMoreSolo on the way in - though riding with his wife so technically not "solo". What a liar

Yep went to cycle home last night and the wind was horrendous. Then it started raining.
I was going to head out again last night but decided to sit on the sofa and work on getting fat(ter) instead.
Bike fit this week Should be interesting, I bet they try and sell me a new bike 
Did my second longest ride on Sunday, a week after my longest ride. Think I should rest my legs a bit now though, top of my thighs are burning quite a bit. I think the BCAA's that someone recommended have helped though.
Oh, and ignore SoliD, weather has been awesome on the south coast! Move down here so I have more people to ride with

Rose Xeon RS4400 (Force 22) With a few Red 22 bits on it (Brakes and Front derailleur (I think, but I forget...)and 25mm wide tyres)

Very nice. I've also got a Rose Xeon and have Force 22 on my TT bike. I think you will be very happy with both!
I'd thought about this too, certainly the last couple of weeks getting any decent time to get some riding in has been tricky. My birthday weekend this weekend coming too...
Have you slept?
Bike fit this week
What kind of fit are you going for and if you don't mind saying how much it's costing?
I'm considering one, I've never had one and not really sure I can justify over £100 on one...
(I consider anything an improvement over the self adjustments I've been doing, but I'm not a million miles out - I hope!)
