First ride for a while.

Went with the misses to Rutland water today, did the 17 mile round, its the first time for a fair few years Ive done any miles, found the weakest link on the bikes, both us! were now aching. Great day out, even though it constantly threw it down, we were soaked through. Very happy with the bikes, the misses GT, only a year old was fine and my old Muddy fox went round great with no problems. I cant believe how effecient the rear suspension was, very little bob and very plush, less than the Spesh FSR stumpy I had a few years ago. Great for a £63 approx 15 yr old bike! Just planning where to go next as soon as the saddle soreness has gone.

Yeah, it does feel good when you know you have done some quality riding on a bike considered "old"
Well done!

Plenty of sudocreme and you can go again tomorrow

I've not had a decent ride (on the bike) this year yet. Lots of little runs but not a chance to put any decent miles under the saddle.

I'm jealous.

I finished work early on Friday. Straight after I headed towards Dartmoor (about 7 miles from my workplace).It was my longest ride ever 9 hours including three food stops...

I have never thought about getting some chamois cream, but it's on the top of the shopping list now...

Used to go for miles as a kid and never had any sore issues what so ever ,even with jeans on,but now it crops up from time to time after a short while.
Wonder whats changed :?:

Im the same, used to be on a bike riding for miles nearly every day, just for the fun of it with my mates, but now it kills me, I was hoping it was gona get better with more miles, with less time in between rides???
