Middle Age Cyclist: July 2012
http://middleagecyclist.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
The ramblings of a Manchester cyclist. Thursday, 12 July 2012. So, I was cycling home after the last of three very busy, long days at work (and I mean longs days of 13.5 hrs! Looking forward to seeing my wife and having a wee dram. The weather was dry and warm, the traffic was very light and it was still daylight despite the time of 21.00hrs. I was wearing a bright red cycling jersey and had my lights on. What could go wrong? I shouted in a Victor Meldrew type way. "How could you not see me? By now peopl...

http://middleagecyclist.blogspot.com/2013/09/lel-2013-done.html
The ramblings of a Manchester cyclist. Tuesday, 3 September 2013. LEL 2013. Done. For anyone stumbling on this blog and wondering how I went on with LEL, I can happily report I completed it with time to spare and no major mishaps. This is a link. To an animated position graph. It shows me as a red dot. I started towards the back of the field at 09.45hr. About 1000 riders started and approx 800 completed in time. And here is my medal :-). 3 September 2013 at 19:08:00 BST. 4 September 2013 at 12:27:00 BST.

Middle Age Cyclist: Bikes
http://middleagecyclist.blogspot.com/p/kit.html
The ramblings of a Manchester cyclist. Aluminium 26" wheel frame, 14 speed Rohloff hub gear, Brooks B17 saddle, butterfly handlebars with Chris King headset, Shimano XT components. I use Tubus rear and front carriers paired with Ortlieb panniers and a Rixen Kaul Klickfix bar attachment for an Ortlieb bar bag. Main bike used for commuting and road based touring. Almost seems to clean itself with the big mudguards and enclosed gears! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). UK cycle commuter and keen tourer. Cycle A 2 B.

Middle Age Cyclist: Getting A Grip
http://middleagecyclist.blogspot.com/2012/01/getting-grip.html
The ramblings of a Manchester cyclist. Sunday, 29 January 2012. Most cyclists will know there are three points of contact a cyclist has with his/her standard bicycle. For those non-cyclists who might be reading (welcome) these are the: pedals, saddle and handlebars. Three points of contact. Damaging the bar tape and so needing to re-tape it. Not an urgent job but it has been a bike maintenance week this week so I got on with it. When I first got the bike the bars had a slide-on foam tube which looked OK ...

Middle Age Cyclist: Cycling Back To Happiness
http://middleagecyclist.blogspot.com/2013/12/cycling-back-to-happiness.html
The ramblings of a Manchester cyclist. Thursday, 12 December 2013. Cycling Back To Happiness. Thought this might be worth sharing. Apologies if you've already read it elsewhere. Early on in 2013 I began to feel a bit down never really having suffered with personal mental health issues before. I shrugged it off as I took delivery of my new bike, the days lengthened and I prepared for the 1400km London-Edinburgh-London. Audax (LEL) at the end of July. Come October, LEL and Super Randonneur. A good few year...

The ramblings of a Manchester cyclist. Monday, 14 January 2013. LEL Prep - Weeks 1-2. Things have not got off to a good start but, hey ho, early days yet. Current distance for 2013: 125 miles. Friday, 11 January 2013. After a long dormant period I've decided to come back to my blog, dust off the cobwebs and settle down to entertain/bore you a little more. "Why does he want to do that? I hear you mutter. Well, I feel I've got something actually worth blogging about that some people might. UK cycle commute...

Middle Age Cyclist: February 2013
http://middleagecyclist.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
The ramblings of a Manchester cyclist. Monday, 4 February 2013. LEL Prep - Weeks 3-5. So my wife collected me from a pub a few whiskys later. The next day I hobbled into work (A&E) and got an XR of the leg. No bony changes found - PHEW! The pain also changed in nature and became more of a band like pain down the outer thigh so probably muscular in origin. Painkillers helped and within 3 days I was walking almost normally. I didn't ride the bike for 5 days though! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Cycle A 2 B.
