My bad, I completely read your post wrong Trackened. For some reason I thought we were talking about a Bike Race not a raft Race. How dumb of me.

Adler find a comfy thick saddle, that is 1/2 of your problem plus some padded shorts whether they are mtn. bike baggies or very Kühl lycra team shorts. your babe' will go crazy seeing you in those

I dont know I am just a hiking man. I used to enjoy going into the Great Smokies and hiking the Ashbury Trail. I also really enjoy hiking in the Schwaebische Alpen and ofcourse in the Alps in Bavaria.

I drink ... Bacardi Breezers

Aren't those alcoholic? I thought you were against the booze, you batty (and insane) bastard.

I did about 10 miles on Saturday. Im slowly building myself up to the longer rides cos I havent cycled for a while.

Go to the beach and ride.

I don't know what they're like in England, but they're the best place for riding here... Flat and empty for most of the path. Covered the ten miles back from our destination (Marina Del Rey, by Santa Monica) in an hour ten, with stops. On a mountain bike. Being ridden by a novice. With rubbing brakes. It was very fun!

Beaches here are either covered in tourists or very stony so there's not much point in taking a bike down there.

As for drink, I'll have almost any lager (not Carling), a couple of ales (mainly Spitfire) and the odd cocktail, orange Fanta, Tea and orange squash

Im against everything except bacardi


And why cycle slowly on a beach when you can cycle fast on a road? Ive exceeded the 30mph speed limit in villages several times.

 

[plan_D]

So, you'll drink actually bacardi or is it piss ant bacardi breezes all the way?

 

[cheddar cheese]

Just Bacardi Breezers And maybe a little wine.

The bike paths down here are smoother than the asphalt and emptier, for long stretches of it. You can go faster than on a street and cover more ground in less time, since there are no stop signs...

 

[cheddar cheese]

In the sticks theres no traffic or stop signs either, just the odd tractor and cattle grid
