What you getting?
Took my new bike out on Sunday,most comfortable bike I’ve ridden
It’s on 28 tyres.and got seat post and handle bar suspension.

Looked to be going well today when I passed you anyway- I was the green Land Rover waving before Coed Parc.

One week until the marathon then I can be out on my bike without worrying about breaking a leg [emoji38]

Wow. Good luck. That's not you running around dressed as a tractor is it?

No it’s when you get over taken by the people carrying a washing machine when you feel the neee to kick them
Training was going epic until last week when my asthmas decided to go crazy change of inhalers and a course of steroids and I’ll hopefully be breathing by then

Oooh, that's not ideal. I've never been much of a runner so I take my hat of to you. Chapeau!

Hope the Marathon went well and you had a great day. Not too painful I hope.

I jibbed and didn’t pay the entry I felt like I’d abandoned Rhys will all my training for the last 4 months and didn’t think it would be fair to keep doing so there’s always next year

Thank you i really enjoyed it but the heat made it so much harder so I just plodded around! I feel fine apart from the big blisters I have on my feet currently soaking them in Epsom salts and then applying some dressings glad I have tomorrow off work as well

I van see your point shame you didnt pay you could have defered to next year for a guaranteed place.

I know the charity I ran for does places for that though with a minimum pledge of £250 so not too bad
I’m looking forward to just going out for a little spin on my bike with no pressure or worries now

Wow that's not a bad price a lot of charity's want a minimum 4x that.

I know they are very good,
I had to raise £1650 for the marathon and a lot of charities wanted £2500+
They’ve also paid all my registration fees and offered amazing support from start to finish so can’t fault them

Well done @mrs mtx thats not a shabby ride.

Well i have my new Cervélo c3 bike and have stuck 80 miles on it this week, but am struggling to get position just right so just enquired about a bike fit again. I also have a new pair of Mavic Cosmic wheels so i cam swap wheel sets and ratios for the weekly TT series, however the cosmics are tubeless ready and i am having trouble getting the valves to seal

Go tubeless they said it be worth it they said!

I have no idea what any of that means after 3 attempts I actually managed to pump my own tyre up this morning it was that or I’d have to run

Lol, well done, sometimes its not the easiest of tasks depending on the pump you have.
