What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

[birddog69]

I have had a non cycling injury to my right elbow for about 2 weeks now which interferes with nearly all I try to do, especially cycling. I need to continue to rest it till near the end of the month before I try riding. So I have become good friends with the bike pictured below. I have been on it for HIIT type work outs of 30-40 minute for past 8 days.

Kind of a love/hate relationship. Especially on sunny days.

Your perspiration is going to cause that machine to dissolve.

I hate it when pets judge you. My rage outs are probably justified (10 times out of 10 it's directed at a computer) but cats just give you this "your behaviour is just so far beneath what's acceptable I'm adding you to The List" look and dogs are even worse, total "mate this energy isn't good right now and you're spoiling my lazy vibe. I'm gonna do it somewhere else. Come find me when you've learnt to behave" and you're left feeling like maybe swearing at an inanimate object is not acceptable grown adult behaviour. Or something.

the first step is admitting you have a problem

its clearly been taken down the trails a few times.

That machine is about 20 years old with a few parts replaced. When I heat up I do a great imitation of a melting popcicle so hopefully it will last till the end of the month.

Can't you just alternate hands? For the sake of your riding man!

Grab a smart trainer and set up a pain cave, you'd be on level 10 by now.

Our shed can already be a pain cave. For example, my wife sends me out to get something, my phone rings 20 minutes later and a voice says " get THAT ting I asked you to get and get back in here! I know what you are doing!"

Shed not attached to house? Usually I just hear yelling?

OUR is the problem.

New Trail Day!

Rode Smiths Gully for the first time and loved it.
Very technical and tight natural trails, so good.
Hard work though, put in 28km but feels like I've done a massive one.

Yep, haven't ridden there in ages... it is great. Thanks for the reminder...

Its a toughy .... the first time i did was on my Fatbike
- the fella leading said " are you sure ? "

I should have paid more attention

No, not attached. She has learned standing at the door usually results in a power tool starting up followed later by claims of " I didn't hear you, my little sweetheart." I think she has worked me out.

To all who had to work today I feel sorry for you. Pretty sweet day for me.
Just be thankful I didn't take photos of the naked swimming

Hit it on the head.

Around the Hastings point area, very cool little lookout with a wooden path and stairs as well. Didn't risk this little baby though.

Had an absolute ball, some clowns say the old bikes are shit. I just say those people have lost their way with the marketing blurb. Sad really

People over 6ft look like clowns on old bikes!

When I built this bike, I set the fork to factory recommendations and just rode.

I recorded and compared them to my original factory yesterday and made a few tweaks.

It feels great as it is, I'm just curious if it can be any better.
