After getting the 5 I now want a road bike seeing as the cycle to work scheme is back on at work.

Its between the Allez or the Secteur, I know a few on here own the Allez but does anyone have a Sectuer?

That'd proabably suit me better, not really wanting to be getting involved in any sort of races etc so a more relaxed geo would be better.

Well i've been thinking about buying a bike for a while now and as i'm getting fat i decided to get on with it.

Picked this up today:



I wasnt willing to spend too much too much as i don't know how much use i'll get out of it yet. If i get into riding again i'll most likely upgrade.

After building it up i took it up the road to set up the seat level etc. I was only out 30mins and was knackered

Also, after not riding a bike for nearly 10 years i was all over the place

I thought the same last Sunday and was right I done 4miles and was nearly dead best way is to just take it easy break yourself in its what I done. Started with 4miles then 6 and then went for 12 will stick at 12 for a week then I'm going for 28 by the end of the month

Well ive been out for a hour so. Didnt bother measuring distance etc. Rode on a riverside path thinking it would be a nice steady ride. Oh how wrong was I! Constantly up and down with tree roots and steps everywhere. Enjoyed it though.

One problem though, my ass is killing me! New saddle or padded pants time?

Padded pants. Time in the saddle is the only real cure. Build up your goochimus maximus.

Need to invest in a decent teeshirt as well. Normal cotton tee is far too warm!

I've got a couple of pairs of padded shorts from Sports Soccer recently, baggy shorts not lycra! Pretty decent and a fraction of the cost of others.

Doing an off road race tomorrow at Blenheim Palace, have borrowed a 29" Kona Kahuna Deluxe for it. Should be good!
