Gemmill 63312 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Nah fuck that. I hate being on a bus and seeing a cyclist pedalling away right in front of it. Makes me feel proper nervous. Where I live in Killingworth is very well connected for cycle routes so that would be my starting point. Aye Killingworth is a good spot for it. You can go out through Backworth to the coast or through Wideopen to Dinnington and out towards Belsay etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 50776 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I live on the top of a steep bank so riding a bike is 50% a good laugh and 50% soul crushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always fucks me off at Dinnington where the cycle path just goes onto the road, usually end up in the pub at that point if we're out for a walk.

Meenzer 18050 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Built a 5x hill interval into a wee 5k tonight. Knees are proper wobbling now. And the elevation looks like fuck-all on Strava. Definitely not fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 18050 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 That may have been the plan, but by the fifth time any pretence of maintaining pace was long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it gets too hard, there's always the four hundred quid swegway to help you over the last lap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Going to a sports podologist tomorrow to discuss various pains and aches. I think my left knee injury is causing issues with my right hip due to compensation in running style. I've been averaging 100km a month this year and I think age / excess has done me in.

ChezGiven 0 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 It's not that much tbh, it's about 5 miles 3 times a week. Might have been enough to fuck me up though. Don't have the diet to go full ghandi, too many fat business dinners and excessive amounts of red wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 4698 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I might get inspired to start running again later. Walking the kids to school isn't cutting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Join a Gym and do more low impact stuff and build up cardio etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
