Not bad, plenty of family time and some very good FA Cup results.

Pretty good, lots of dog walking, great food and sleeping. Did take the Fitbit challenge too far and ran for 2 hours on Sunday and still came third.Comment

Not bad, TFA.
Friday in the pub for a beer festival.
Spent most of Saturday clearing out crap from the garage to make room to be able to have a proper set up for the Turbo Trainer etc. Then went and bought some proper cycling shoes and cleats for MrsB. She's been skeptical about the difference they make but now can't believe how much better they are than just trainers
Most of Saturday evening was spent trying to resuscitate MrsB's iMac, to no avail. I suspect the hard drive screwed so it's going in for repairs today.
Was supposed to be out on the bike on Sunday, was hoping to get the first Century of the year in but it was just way too icy. Ended doing three hours on the turbo instead for a metric century."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

I hope she doesn't fall off, same for you, I've heard too many horror stories about those thingsOriginally posted by DaveB View PostThen went and bought some proper cycling shoes and cleats for MrsB.

My bike came with those things, I had them replaced with classic pedals

You soon get used to them, and everybody falls off at least once. Usually in a semi-graceful, slow motion sideways manner when coming to a halt and forgetting you are clipped in. Think Del Boy at the bar.Originally posted by milanbenes View PostI hope she doesn't fall off, same for you, I've heard too many horror stories about those things

It only takes one or two rides for un-clipping to become second nature, you just stop thinking about it and do it. MrsB is only riding on the turbo trainer at the moment, but she got the hang of it quickly enough."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment
