I have.
Took my bike into my LBS for a good service, cassette and new chain.
Should hopefully be out on it next weekend. Which will be 9 weeks since I last rode.

Finally bought a new bike to get out riding. Bought Jas's 2010 Giant Anthem and it arrived last week.
I have done a couple rides since getting it, first was a little route around town and the second was a blast around Cannock Chase. We only went around the Blue route as my partner has bought a bike but not ridden in 8 years so wanted to try something easy.
To my surprise she even suggested we do some of the red routes 
Anyway, a couple pictures.
We should arrange a CS meet up around Cannock Chase due to its fairly central location.

I had the shittest ride ever at Chicksands today.
Couldn't focus, no energy or enthusiasm. Better be on it next week.

CS ride would be good tho and Cannock is pretty central, as long as exceptions were made for the less fit/technically able!!

What are you eating before setting off? Also, might be a bit extreme for a commute to work but have you tried some gels etc on route when lagging?

I have 2 slices of brown toast with jam and a cup of tea.
A few people have reccomended I get onto the protien shakes to aid recovery, I find from Thursday onwards my legs are completely knackered. Friday I have to power through it and on Saturday I'm a complete write off - I have no energy to do anything and end up sleeping for like 12 hours!

Eat more and as soon after you have ridden as you possibly can.
Dont start relying on gels for short rides. I do all my training without gels and only use them for any events I do.
