The winds as you approached the coast were murder alright. If you link to rides on mapmy or strava you should make the public so the can be viewed properly.

they should be set to public

Says we have to be "friends" to view. I like you and all but I'm not sure if I am ready for that step yet.

My first time out on the bike in 2014.

Went up Cruagh road, then up Military road but turned back due to the horrible conditions.
It took me a while to thaw out, but it was well worth it in the end.

Pain, suffering, mud, crash, slip, slide, beer, broken derailleur, borrow bike, finish race, bath, bed.

davidsatelle100 · 12-01-2014 8:20pm

took it handy and done a few laps of the Park, 40k on the mountain bike. But just a pleasure to be out in the air rather than melting on the turbo

You'll have to stop that cycling on the M50 though, the Traffic Corps get a bit pi$$ed.

At no point does that route go on the m50

Amprodude · 14-01-2014 12:34am

Did 80 km tonight but roads were slightly icy and bike was a bit out of shape as a result. Great spin though.

godtabh · 14-01-2014 8:10am

watch the roads around south county dublin. N11 is gritted from UCD to the Canal but that appears to be all. Ballsbridge to Dun Laoghaire is ok. Stick to the main roads if you can

Maybe I should have included a

with my post, as my tongue-in-cheek jibe seems to have been misinterpreted. At a distance, it looks he cycled along the M50 for one stretch around Cloverhill. But no, I didn't think that he really cycled along the M50.

Icy start this morning...then haven not got a puncture in over 6 months I get two on the way home and my second spare had a fault valve...big thanks to mrs del88 for coming to my rescue ... Ah the joys of the cycling ...still the worst day on the bike feeling fit and healthy beats the best day in a car overweight and tired....

got done for speeding driving up to start point of my cycle yesterday.
First time ever

godtabh · 15-01-2014 7:16am

2 spokes gone and a 5km walk home. Not a good start this morning

2 Punctures and a 4km walk to work. Still, I got 14km done on the bike first.
Luckily my Marathon plus Smart guard tyres arrived at work today. I was going to send them back as they are 32s and get 25s or 28s instead but they are on the boardman now with 19km on them! They are pretty much bomb proof.

Anyways.... 297km so far for Jan. I am so getting that stupid Strava badge

lukegjpotter · 15-01-2014 11:13pm

Z2 with Z4 three lap intervals around the IDA Business Park in Athlone.

Had the Garmin Edge 810 set to display four items; Heart Rate, HR Zone, Cadence and % Max HR.
I found it good. I should've spun more in the second Z4 interval.

I moved up one place to 8th on the IDA Loop segment, targeting moving up to 5th by the end of the year. Need to be averaging 35km/h to do so, 7km/h more than I'm averaging now.

Wishbone Ash · 16-01-2014 12:42am

At the church in Howth, 33km into what I hoped would be a 200km ride, I dropped to the lowest gear when the jockey wheels became entangled in the spokes of the rear wheel dragging the mech sideways with a horrible mashing sound. I came to a fairly abrupt halt and almost had a clipless incident in the full splendour of the boards.ie pink kit!

Mrs WA called to the rescue (non too impressed at having to cancel a work meeting!).

I pressed another bike into service but, with the momentum and time lost,only managed another 80kms.

Unknown Soldier · 16-01-2014 9:30pm

I wish the lads at work hadn't "enlightened" me on "interval" training today. Think that's what it was called. I'm banjaxed after the ride home. Pedal your little heart out for small segments, they said. Be grand, they said!

Still..

w00t! Only another 271 to go.

112km in 4 hours. Could be a while before I warm up!

Tree Scape · 18-01-2014 6:36pm

Only managed a miserable 40ish k this am before gloves, boots began to leak, so caught a few hills but colddddd

nilhg · 18-01-2014 8:03pm

I don't know whether it was better when my fingers were so numb I couldn't feel them any more or when a little feeling came back so I could feel the pain.

Have to say the expression on the face of the lass in the chemist's shop when I asked for 8 pairs of latex gloves was priceless, one for everyone on the club spin, helped a little heading home I think.

83km through wildest Kildare and Laois.
