Welcome it is a slow and steady journey but you can do it

I got an FT7 as I wanted to download the information but this only works intermittantly, so I now read off the information and type it in to a ss. Do like it though.

Yes it does get easier, I now enjoy a small handfull or rolled oats to chew, a few months ago they had to be cooked in milk and lathered in honey. meat is now cut small and stir fried in a none stick pan with a touch of oil, along with veg and herbs and or spices. get to know the herbs and spices they are your friends in…

Padded shorts and a gender specific saddle, that will put the weight on to your sit bones and not on the sensitive bits. I also use a cream when on my 100 + mile rides.

Freeze half a loaf when you get it home for the second half of the week

PLUS one to that I quit 40 years ago and still think of it as the best thing I have done in my life.

Thank you for putting this together and sharing

Then buy the bike from them. The shop needs the sales to stay in business, and you will need them to service the bike every year. The service is usually cheaper if they sold you the bike.

What was that reason you did not workout yesterday? Absolutly awsome. Thanks I have just lost all my excuses.

I have had no problems with mine, I do not like the food recording and use MFP and then transphere the totals across into bodymedia. I like the way that after the first couple of work outs it could tell the differance between bicep curls and walking, and does not add loads of steps whan I am cycling.

I find that high bran cereals for breakfast keep me filled up till lunch and provide the fibre.

The midlands England. 100 miles is possible for most people, just find the level that you are at now and increase the distance 10% per 2 week period, making sure that you get your rest day in.

135 miles today speed was a bit down as it took me 13 hours

Your body will need to adjust to the new foods, But I find that I need to also eat some very hight fibre cereals first Thing.

:laugh:

That was a big favor that he did you. Move on you can certainly do better than him.

This body is 62 and can not always keep up with what its much younger brain wants it to do.

Be very careful this can become very addictive, do not look up AudaxUK in a search engine as there you will find regular 100 mile rides all over the country. An addict

What is a reverse Plank?

3/9 2X60 Front 2X60 Side (60 secs each side) Total 10/60

3/9 22.8 miles

Garmin 705 but then I am a cycling nut.

[quot i will have 4 or 5 almonds and that seems to do the trick. [/quote] 4 or 5 almonds would not work for me it would have to be the whole pack or even 2 packs.I just love them, if they are in the house it is not for long. ;>)

Thank you for putting it better than me. (too early in the morning at least that is my excuse) just type GI foods into a web search and get a listing of the GI Index number for loads of foods. and then stick with those with an index below 40 ish. this can lead to smaller portions as you feel fuller for longer.

A bit like a pancake / Waffle but savory, and in the shape of a bowl so you can fill it with meat / gravy etc. lovely but a calorie overload.

Try having a low GI breakfast, less carbohydrate, sugar, this will not give you an insulin spike and so make you feel hungry. No expert but it works for me.

I am in for this one 1/9 10.9 miles 2/9 12.7 miles

1/9 2X60 Front 2/9 3X60 Front 1X60 Side (30 secs / side) Ouch :embarassed: Total 6/60

1/9/12 2/60 for me today they were harder than i thought they would be

Plus 1 The weekly figures are inconsistant look at the longer term trend, months not days you will go up and down. Just keep going it will happen.
