Had a bit of a oh 🤬 moment yesterday.
Coming down a hill at around 74kmh
Hope that was on a national road
Glad it was just a timely-reminder rather then a report from the hospital 👍

I just had problems getting the right tension on the derailleur and chain. Before I figured out the problem, the chain was really loose. I figured out how to get it after taking a break.

After the purchase of a car-bike rack this week, I figured it was time to pull finger and get back in the saddle!
After some much needed maintenance, including a rather bodge but effective truing of the rear wheel via some gentle taps with a rubber mallet, I was out on the road for the first time in 3 months..
The lungs were burning after 5km and I packed it in after 8km, but small steps is the goal. I've set myself the goal of 400km for the next few months. I just want to get back to where I was 18 months ago,
but not put too much pressure on myself so that I end up not-enjoying it any more.

Maybe 'gentle' is a stretch of the truth...but eh, whatever works.

ShaunOn my front the saddle I ordered after deciding the current one wasn't going to get any more comfortable even after setting up my bike properly arrived on Friday.
I'm a bit ham fisted when it comes to odd jobs, so I was pleased as punch about it. Cured my squeaky rear brakes too!phillkillv2I guess I'm not the only person that's been there and done that.

ExigeEvanHow many of you guys cycle to actually get places?
This happens to me every single time.I go into time trial-racing-PR mode and what was supposed to be a calming ride ends up being an all out sprint.
