Wasn't BACC was it?I went on my first club ride.What an eye opener.Way off the pace on the hills.I've got a lot off hard graft to get through in the next few weeks,to get my fitness a bit higher.Proper roadies mind,so it was no surprise.I'm gonna get through some hills over the next few weeks.

Sorry lads but 30 degrees and sunny all day...
Getting much riding done? Do they have proper hills in the Dordogne?
I went out with someone I didn't know from my Tri club this morning, a 22 year old lad. Just planned on doing 40-50 miles as I've got a long ride tomorrow. As well as getting piss wet through and having to lend him my arm warmers (he didn't think to bring any wet weather gear), he imploded after 30 miles and had to stop on a short, not steep climb because he was 'exhausted'. My average speed was barely over 10mph by the time we got back.
The youth of today! Pathetic!
Child killer!
Worst weather imaginable out there today. Sun, wind and deluges. Kernts.
Similar for me today. Young ish lad, keen as mustard. No wet gear, no chain oil and was sucking on gel packs like they were going out of fashion.Getting much riding done? Do they have proper hills in the Dordogne?

One of the lads was ill so the pace was low. Last time I was out with said young lad he bonked at about 50k. Didn't even want a beer after either.

Exactly the same. He had 4 gels in a 30 mile ride and then when he stopped on the hill told me he was bonking!!
No but he started with none on his chain!Do you usually take chain oil out with you on a ride? I only ever use it after a clean or when it needs it
Aye I got round with two water bottles.Bottle of watta would've done me
Aye I got round with two water bottles.
Yup. I got soaked 4 times today. Rain, sun, wind, repeat.Lightweight. I got round on one and a half water bottles!
Although it rained so heavily I must have drunk another bottle's worth just by opening my gob.
I rode to and from work and can confirm the wind was a bastard
Managed just under 70 yesterday on the MTB on a single gel and half a litre of Hi-5 carb drink; head wind vicious up at Parkhead.
Managed a quick 30 today on a couple of Ikea hotdogs. What amazed me was how few bikes were out; I counted just four and not a single roadie.
Meh I did my 25miles fueled on last nights beer and was in great danger of losing it and the meal I had a number of timesLightweight. I got round on one and a half water bottles!
