When I cant go for long distance road rides I tend to go up dunstable downs (chiltern hills) as I live 1min away :-) |

Joined: 31 Jan 2011 Posts: 34 Bike: My Profile | This is a good question...I am relatively new to this 'cycle for enjoyment' thing so I will be interested to know what everyone does. I am thinking about taking up running again, just to keep my legs moving. I can not afford one of those trainer things that you attach your bike to but I have a good set of trainers that I used last year. Once again, good debate. Chris. |
