Cycling swingers

By *jkuk72 OP Man over a year ago

London & Herts

Hi all, there used to be a thread about cycling, which kind came to an end, so I am trying to give it a new elixir of life. So, any cycling swingers out there come and say hi and maybe, if we are not too far away from each other, we could organise a ride one day

Happy cycling. Right, off to a 50 miles ride in Hertfordshire now

Love to get out and about on my mountain bike...

Just something about it makes me feel so fresh and free...

Wanted to do the great north trail mid July but don't think finances are going to allow it this year.

Only been able to ride for last 3 years due to issues

I'm tempted as it's my old training roads but also tempted to head in to London (which is much more practical) and cheer people on at London Triathlon.

Probably try and do 50 miles, probably out towards Dunstable and back, we are lucky on Hertfordshire as for some reason most of London still thinks Surrey is the place to head!

I watched it on TV and it was a really exciting race despite the flat course, felt sorry for Cav, as soon as Caleb Ewan pulled out it was obvious no other team would want a bunch finish. Loved the Ghanaian corner!

Sat in the bath with radox muscle therapy after 87 miles today in Lancashire and doing 71 miles of Wales Ironman course on Saturday. Can't say I'm looking forward to the 112 miles of Ironman in 2 weeks time. The two circuits of the north loop are just mental with crazy climbs followed by descent's one after the other for around 80 miles of the course.

For the first time in decades, I’m back on a bike again. Recently bought a hybrid through ‘cycle to work scheme’, commuting at l_ast twice a week. It’s only about 2 miles each way, but there’s a 7% incline for about 300 yards, carrying 2 panniers with stuff. I’m hoping to get up to 4 times a week and join a local cycling club.

I’m noticing that I’m becoming quicker and faster each time I commute and energised for the day ahead. Although I’m no longer a night owl and in bed by 9!

Completed it in horrendous conditions on the day. Just concentrating on the bike, it was treacherous on the descents once the heavy rain started. Probably the toughest day in the saddle I've experienced. Just come back from Barcelona Ironman 70.3 where it was polar opposite..... beautiful sunny day and flattish course.

I only use it when the weather is foul. And yes, I think it’s good - it has hundreds of different workouts to choose from at different effort levels and length of workout. In terms of it making a difference, in the winter possibly yes, but only if you use it regularly and set up a training programme. Try it and see what you think.

Thanks- I’ll do so in the New Year once I’m used to training with power"

If you have a “smart” turbo, e.g. a kickr, you don’t need a power meter - the turbo will calculate that for you. I would recommend a cadence monitor, though, since specific cadence ranges are suggested by the various workouts.

"Road and off road (usually Cannock) here. Would be cool to meet up with other cyclists. Looking to get back into tri, maybe there should be a outdoor swimming thread on here as well."

I am an open water swimmer, but highly doubt anyone else would be anywhere near me

I know a lot of people like Zwift, including some of my friends, but for whatever reason I prefer Trainerroad, maybe because - unlike Zwift - it’s not social

Lots of reviews giving positives on both Zwift and TrainerRoad. Absolutely right around Zwift being a social platform - give me the chance to go outside I’d do it any day unless absolutely hosing it down. I’m headed the TR route as I only have a basic turbo (power meter also does cadence etc)

The power meter was my early Christmas present - sadly don’t have £500 in the pot!! Very happy being outside as well so I’m not sure I’d use it

Fair enough. I only use the turbo in emergency situations

Regular cyclist here, love the idea of meeting up with tiger swing cyclists for a social and ride with coffee and cake and discreet chat about fun times.

Let me know if you are near Wiltshire.

I also attend a few sportives and think maybe we could have a naughty cycling weekend at one sometime.

Managed a combined 100+ miles each weekend for the last 2 weeks but been lucky with the weather. Have friends up from London this weekend so no riding. Did the first Zwift session on the turbo last night. Anyone used FullGaz ? We picked up a trial period at Ironman Wales which we've not installed yet but wondered if anyone has any experience of it as a platform.

I just stick to Zwift. I've been on it for about 2 years now, so I don't wanna start again on a new app. Though saying that, Zwift is insanely temperamental and frequently decides not to work for whatever reason.

I guess it depends on you, I have some Decathlon fleece ones which are too hot for me, I mainly wear Galiber cyclocross gloves as my hands get too hot...I've been out in the winter and had to take gloves off and ride bare hands and 2-5c..

Same here - so much salt down as well - rain and warmer temperatures due Sunday and will wash away the salt/slush/ice then watch for potholes. Not taking the bike out until all of the salt washed away - kills all of the moving parts

Quite! Had forgotten that my old gloves seem to be somewhat worn out at the ginger tips. I'll get out the ski gloves next time.

But no slips! And only one van man angry at me for cycling in the middle of the road (to avoid the snow at the sides).
