I keep on tweaking the spoke on my wheels to keep them in true but they keep on coming out of place. Anyone had this before? Maybe the tension isn't right.
Got out on the bike today for the first time in a bit. Up to Goodwood racecourse and back (came back a slightly different way) approx 28miles.
Looking at some of the roads and pavement as i left, then looking at the road tyres on my bike didn't fill me with confidence.
Left at the warmest part of the day (3oC), and as you would know chich, plenty of uphill on the way out (kept the heart pumping) and the usual pleasure of speeding back down was seriously diminished by the sketchy roads and icy air. Luckily i had taken an extra neck fleece in my back pocket so i slipped that inside my top over my chest as for some reason no one was handing out newspapers at the top of my hill.
Always tricky to know how many layers to wear.
Chich-Do you take repair kit or spare tube out with you? as today when out in the sticks i had the worrying thought of the consequences of a puncture......freezing cold, 1hr till sunset, shoes with cleats...........i did have the mobile with me though.
This should cheer Chich up...........................apparently Wiggo is a yiddo
Nope he is a liverpool fan and therefore goes back to being a boring ****.
Nope......listen to the Weller/Wiggins radio show on Radio 6 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01pgq27 and he says he was at the Lane week in week out during his youth.
Do you hate Wiggo because he is just a tempo man with no real explosive qualities (he can hold but not attack) Froomey got schooled a few times in last years vuelta, but i really do think the guys with massive (pantani style) kicks are all on the juice. Everyone is so finely tuned with science,training and diet that it requires the 'extra' help to be able to ride off up the road. Ironically cycle racing may get a tad boring if everyone is tuned up to within a whisker of each other.
I know you like the wind (will it ever stop) but cannot really hack it myself......... good for kiting though, plenty out today (and yday) were you one of them?..........or do you pussy out now the waters turned cold?
It will be interesting what Armstrong admits to.
I can't really imagine him confessing or apologising. Given his choice of venue I assume he will admit to something vague, cry a bit, and present himself as the true victim, trying to get on with his life and lead the fight against cancer.
