Activity Road Biking Whitestone, United Kingdom MotionBased Dashboard
Knocked out a 40 miler today to bring the weeks total to 160 miles. Could be better but given time constraints its bearable. Legs are starting to feel better now, well apart from today, but i was feeling tired as the heart rate suggests and i am averaging over 14 mph on most rides which feels good.
I keep meaning to write a review of my bike but haven't got that far yet, although it handles well i have had to replace the brakes as the front was shuddering (this is a design fault on the bike and seems quite common on the tri-cross). Unfortunately water got into the rear wheel hub and loosened the back wheel, despite it being re-greased it appears to be coming apart again, i think a new hub is required, despite these faults its still a good bike but the niggles are annoying.

Thanks Dave, now I am starting to suffer 'distance / speed' envy /inadequacy!
Going to have to seek help!
Still, I think my hills are bigger!
Good going mate, it is a pain trying to find time to ride.

don't you just hate it when water gets in to your rear wheel hub...

It wasn't water it was his 'special' bag leaking....
