Dr Who?

And as if by magic.... .....here is today's route. https://maps.google.com/?q=http://share.abvio.com/824c/8038/fa1e/970c/Cyclemeter-Cycle-20120715-0937.kml#bmb=1

Today we did a 27 mile ride, which is the longest so far on our training. For once the rain was not tripping at down! Good route and it would be even better if the app would email me the link so I could put the routes on here.

Yes I would like to think so.

Yes that is serious mileage, a road bike is the way to go without a doubt! I am looking to do the odd charity ride but only around 50 miles a day, and more family cycling, and off road, so the mountain bike is good for me ATM.

I have a standard mountain bike. When we bought the bikes it was for family cycling while on holiday, but then I was emailed about London to Brighton and now it has snowballed and me and the wife love it. Also when I used to cycle it was off road, in woodlands and farmland paths. So the mountain bike made sense. I think mountain bikes are easier on the back, and give you more comfort, but less speed. There is a lot of grip on the wider tyre of the mountain bike, comfortable seats and suspension, better for coming down rough grounds of 'mountains'. The road bike has a slick tyre, not suspension and harsher seats, but designed for speed. Really depends what you want to achieve with the bike. I want my mountain bike and a road bike in the future. My bike cost £480.

Sandwich, I know I saw that as well. Do not think I am ready for that kind of hike just yet! Really does keep us motivated to see the fund money going up, so a little amount would be great. I do have to say that the weather for the training at the moment has been terrible, rain and wind. I think we have only had 3 cycles out of 25 that have been in the sun!!! English summer. I know that we might have to cycle in the rain so does not harm, but what if it is sunny, we need this training as well, as we have had enough rain and wind training!! Weight now at 14 stone 1, and was at the end of May when the training started 15 stone 13. Feeling really good

Only 2 months now. Please give as much or as little as you can. Cheers Kev http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=simsgocycling&isTeam=true

Just to bump this up, if you can give please do. Went out this evening in the pouring rain and it was hard going because of the rain, but 15 miles we managed, and felt good. If the sun was out would have been much easier. Not long now until September 16th, and have a 30 mile ride on Sunday.

Yes wind up,mwhen I questioned this today, he did not know what I was on about,mand then said it rhymes with Bowen carleaves, but I think he means sounds like. No way the club would sign him, as mentioned he does not fit the Southampton set up! All ball!

I do not think this statagey will work, as they will have to pay through the nose, and it is not a team for the future. Not the right way IMO

Still have no idea who we are going to sign, but am excited to find out. I am sure we will keep with the club trend of buying players that fit in with the rest of the squad. Some of the names I have heard are complete tosh, as there is no way we will sign billy big balls on a lot of money, as this will upset the apple cart.

It was wet today, but a great route around Cambridge....l but boy it was very very very wet. Got my first cycling medal though, next London to Brighton.

Tomorrow I will be doing the below route. This is more a family event, and my 10 year old daughter is doing it. Not the 25 miles we are suppose to be doing. http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/.documentlibrary?get=2289 Also looking at doing something to raise money for the local Wild life park, as they rely on this sort of thing. Thinking of doing 100 miles a day for 5 days and staying somewhere over night. In between. Thinking of doing this in October/November. Anyone fancy doing the same for their own charity?

I would add to this and say we should be 11th/12th.

Ha hahaha, how have I missed this 4th my arse. ALL the teams in the semi are better than us. Most of the others that got knocked out in the quarter apart from Greece.

Credit Manager, and it bores the pants off me, but it is what I have been doing for the last 14 years so what I know. Just looking to move jobs within credit, but also going on a Pastry Chef course and looking to move into this area, as this is where my passion is.... Well in cooking/catering. I do go between feeling lucky I have a well paid job to thinking this is terrible.

It was some wonderful advice to take a few days off from cycling. I took Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off, and had a massage on Wednesday lunch time which was really good. Yesterday was a fantastic cycle though the back roads in the lovely evening sunshine, felt so much better after the break. Only down side was Mrs Dr Who and her chain coming off and managing to get into a tangle! Cycled 13 miles and it was really easy, I am amazed that 10-15 miles is really stright forward and I am hoping up to 35-40 miles will be easy by the time of the ride, but I am sure at some point we will hit a wall on the day. I am off again for a quick 13 mile cycle, before the great Indian take away night, where we eat what we blinking well like. Cheers Kev

Well I have to say this is the 3rd day without a cycle, and a feel good for it. I do have to say though that I have missed it a lot. Going for a massage this afternoon, and then we will both be back on the road tomorrow evening. Please read the charity page, our blog, and give if you can for what is a really good cause. http://www.childhoodfirst.org.uk/ http://simcycling.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/midweek-cycle-ride-number-4-horrible.html http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=simsgocycling&isTeam=true Thanks for reading

Now is that yellow and red stripes, or is there red and grey, or is it classed as a all yellow top? So many answers required. I'll buy it!

Brilliant lol

I am resting, today, Tuesday and Wednesday, and we will get back on the bike on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Cheers for the advice.

I have to say after cycling for about an hour I need to stand up cycle for a few minutes, just to get the feeling back in that area. I get pins and needles down there. Still all in a good cause. Cannot believe I am starting week 6 of 16 in my training this week. This means only 10 weeks left until the event. I hope he weather picks up! Taking a break now until Thursday on the advice above. May look to get a massage at some point, just as a treat. Pleae do not forget to give towards this wonderful cause. http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=simsgocycling&isTeam=true I think the ladies 'pink board are winning in donations', Hmmm.

Nice cycle today around Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire today. Seemed a little off the pace with an average of 10 mph. Covered 20 miles and the stopping point was the Jester pub, where we had our anniversary carvery, to celebrate 7 years of marriage. Good day in all, but the legs were aching all through the cycle, think this was down to the gig on Friday and the hour on the exercise bike yesterday.
