Thursday 12th July 8 mile Bike Ride

Did my normal ride around the linacre-brampton circle at just over 8 miles but as i had broken the chain on my bike i thought it would be a good time to test my son Will's bike against mine

His bike is a Trek 4300 which is a much better model than my old steel frame Raleigh , it has disc brakes and is a light weight aly frame

Needless to say my time was close to 5 minutes faster on his bike and so its a new better bike for me

Time Taken 51.08

Was tough tonight but needed the workout to ease my back stiffness

Tuesday 10th July 8 Mile bike Ride Almost

My back was sore from a visit to physio on Monday evening and so i set off on my normal route , linacre to brampton a nice 8 mile ride

This time i had decided to push myself hard to get some improvement in my time as i would like to get fit enough to do the dark and white peak challenge events http://www.darkandwhite.co.uk/

Did the down hill parts at a real good speed and attacked the hills on the second short but steep accent the chain broke and that was the end of my ride

Its about time i got a decent bike i reckon , i fancy a GT Avalanche 1 Disc or a Specialized Hardrock Pro
