Ooh, I feel so dirty (in a clean, on the road kind of way).

No prizes for guessing my taste in music either!

Girls; Imac or shaving for my legs? [1]
See you all Sunday.

Tom
[1] Not really - I'm a 'cool' hairy roadie, with my Endura baggies.

i'm not Gay or ought!!

Oooh aero bars!

That's a whole level of complexity I can't even comprehend at the moment. Still not sure when I should use the hoods or drops.

Can't believe how fast they are though!

Tom

Well if we’re posting pics:



You’ll soon learn that baggies on a road bike are just wrong!

We’ll await your thread next week “What lycra shorts?”

Shortly followed by “How far up do I shave?”

I can only dream of such exotica.... this is the latest addition to my fleet. When we've sorted out a Bike2Work scheme I'll indulge myself.

I had my first outing with my local road riding club the other Sunday - 47 miles in the wind and rain. I only dropped off the pace in the last 10 miles or so - quite pleased for a first time out.

Since we're showing and telling:



I agree with Jase, Lycra is better but I prefer bib shorts - gives a little more coverage on the small of your back, stops the draughts

Hmmm obviously need more practice with posting pictures!!

As if by magic........

You were close. When you paste your link of the pic in, simply highlight it and click the 'IMAGE' button above the text box.

Job Done.

Nice ride by way you Lord !!

Is that a Turbo Trainer I see in the corner there Paul!

I like to think of it as a dust collector, keeps the garage clean!

Is it just me but... I glanced down the forum posts and with so many entries under 'I am a naughty boy' re: Road cycling it struck me a quite funny. It's like the pro riding scene at the moment...

I am a naughty boy - I took EPO 10 yrs ago
I am a naughty boy - I took performance enhancers last season
I am a naughty boy - I wear my girlfriends hot pants

Maybe it's just me

Well Nath just emailed me to ask if I knew what EPO looks like as he thinks he may of found some whilst rummaging through his wife’s knicker draw

It looks such a 'MAN GARAGE'. Attached carpet to the walls so you don't bang your door when you get out !!

Ahhhh

Since you asked ...




... and this is where we went last summer ...




Col d'Izoard 2360m HC- 1200m climb over 26km (40deg C)

You can make out the road climbing right to left then hairpins over the col.

Wow!

I'm quite surprised at how many roadies have come out of the closet following my 'outing'.

;-)

Cheers guys! We'll have to have a club road ride sometime this summer. Maybe save it until I've learnt to change gear without wobbling!

Tom

Yes I've been naughty as well, can I add my new road bike....
