Not weighed myself today and I shalln't be but.....

Feeling good. Riding more. Walking/hiking more.

The distances I'm putting in aren't embiggening but the stats (times, HR, pace etc...) are all showing improvement.

Staying off the booze and feeling good for it.

Onwards and downwards.....

Down 4.9kg or 47.5 Greggs sausage rolls on our 4 month anniversary :-bd Don't think I've actually ever eaten one, more a cheese and onion or cornbeef pastie guy. Good effort!!! :-bd I'm aiming for a reboot (again!). After two weeks in the UK drinking too much and eating too much and badly I don't w...

I got one waaaaay back when and then I Photoshop it every year and use it as/when needed.

It's a hoop that needs jumping through but I'll be damned if I'm repeatedly paying to do it.

Howdy, Sorry for the delay but I usually avoid this area of the forum (too dangerous) and so forgot all about this post :roll: Anyway..... This might be a bit overbuilt for what you are after, but I have a blunt rim on a hope pro 2(?) 6 bolt hub that is gunmetal in colour. Also has a shimano freehub...

So...am looking for a rear wheel (a bit too skint to buy new at the minute). - 29" - Non-boost / 135mm - 9mm QR - Fairly sturdy but not downhill/enduro beefy - Shimano freehub body compatible - Ideally 6 bolt rotor mount Good condition as I'd like it to last a while and take a bit of reasonably...

Lake Annecy. I didn't want to say as any sympathy for my situation seems to evaporate when I mention riding in lovely places. It's a lot less exotic when it's only an hour away from home. https://gites.s3.amazonaws.com/themes/header_images/000/000/090/header/open-uri20200221-1259-1o7ez7g.jpg?1582277...

Finally managed to shoehorn a ride into my silly busy schedule of work, hundreds of children (3) and perma-injuries :-bd 40 of your finest Kms around a lovely lake - I'll take that! T-shirt and shorts weather too, result! Only my 4th ride since mid-November (and zero other exercise) - this ankle inj...

It's very hard to stay motivated to resist eating/drinking things that give temporary, short-term happiness when access to feeling ...

I'm not participating this week.

Too much work, three failed attempts at going riding and lots of quickly grabbed meals means that no good can come of standing of the scales of doom this week.

Really? I'm incredibly consistent....

06-02-23 - 122kg 10-02-23 - 121.1kg Well.....it's nothing but at least it's nothing in the right direction. 0.9kg is stoating in a week ! it's a 2lb ! Great going :-bd Thanks but I know that I've done nothing to earn it and that it's likely just a big poo's difference. Feeling mightily negative abo...

Oh.

I have gained 1 kitten.

A good buddies big birthday at the weekend so I'm unsurprised it's gone up.

More consistent effort needed (and better conditions for exercise wouldn't be terrible).....

Keep it up folk!

Boom!!!

I'm gonna miss this week as I like to weigh-in at the same time of day in order to keep things equal and I won't be able to tomorrow. .....I'm running away!!! I'm escaping the Arctic misery of the valley (every morning for the last two weeks it's been somewhere in the region of -10 to -15°c and the ...

I've never bedded in a set of pads in my life.

Old pads dead, new pads in, keep riding.....

What am I missing? Sure as schnitzels doesn't seem to be braking power. Longevity?

Holy crap dude, that doesn't sound fun. I'm a massive fan of the healthcare system in France, it's like the NHS used to be (to be clear, blaming funding and policy decisions NOT the workers) in that it works and things get done. I hope you manage to find a solutions that stops the pain and manages t...

While we're talking ankles again..... Had an MRI and it seems I've got a complete rupture of one ligament, a partial rupture of another ligament, bone marrow edema and some tendonopathy - happy days! :-bd So zero winter sports this winter for me but I don't really mind so long as the weather stays o...

Meh, bad ankle week, too much work, no exercise (yet) and some dubious food choices - all about what I expected.

I've ridden bits and pieces over the years and so by no means particularly knowledgeable but the bits I've done have all been proper mountain biking (as opposed to easy gravel bike friendly trails) - do with that what you will..... (To clarify, I was on a 100mm steal hardtail 29er, frequently loaded...
