Healing up nicely, thank you. And still out on the bike everyday, when I can. DG…

Took a ride out today to Stowe. The estate is run by The National Trust, but Stowe Public School, one of the most expensive in the UK, is still separate. Some views of Stowe. A nice place for a picnic stop. Second picnic stop. The weather is unusually warm for the UK at the moment as...

You seemed to have had a very busy, but enjoyable day. DG…

My belt on my Nevo3 GT Vario GX wasn’t squeaking as such, but making a rubbing noise with some vibration. The LBS turned the belt round, cleaned it and sprayed it with some silicone. They also slightly re-positioned the snubber wheel. All was OK for a while, but the issue did come back...

Mrs DG and myself exploring parts of Milton Keynes. I didn’t realise that there were so many green parks to cycle round. DG…

Yes, the Garmin Epix worked, but the Specialized ANGI didn’t. I had the ANGI system prior to getting the Epix and continue to use it as it is supposed to be more responsive than the Garmin system, but is this case, not. Will probably still use the ANGI as it notifies Mrs DG when I start and...

@Readytoride Sorry to hear of your fall, but glad both you and the bike are OK. Mine was also a low speed incident. Coming along a cycle track some workers were replacing a wire fence and new wooden posts. I had slowed down for them, but didn’t notice a roll of fence wire which was...

I came off on Thursday. Nothing too serious, but a grazed left knee. Out again today and was fine. DG…

I have changed my JWs to the Marathon Plus MTBs. So far, so good. Tyre noise on roads is minimal (can’t hear anything above the engine noise) and grip on loose stuff is very good. Appearance wise, very similar to the JWs and very pleased with them.

I remember punk in its early days in the 70s in the UK and went to a number of gigs at the time. Two notable ones were The Stranglers where a massive brawl broke out. And Blondie, Debbie Harry in a black bin bag when you’re a young 17 year old is a sight to behold. I had a pierced ear at the...

Two rides today. Keeping up the exercise regime. The saddle seems about right now, just got to let it bed in. Good news on the noise and vibration front. I have found that this becomes noticeable when the Gates Carbon Rubber belt gets very dusty. Whether this is because the there are pannier...

As part of my continuing diet and increased exercise programme, trying to get out on the bike every day, this is todays ride. So far, the saddle is not too bad, still a little bit of tweaking to do, but getting there. DG…

I have two pairs and alternate them every day. These are the ones I have. Although they state thermal, I have no issues wearing them in the summer. Don’t worry about the price, if you shop around, you can pick them up much cheaper. DG…

The ones I wear are Gore C3, and I wear StepOne boxers under mine which also are form fitting with Lycra. For interest I tried many cheap ones from Amazon, but always found their fit to be poor. However, the Gore ones fitted brilliantly straight away. For me, this is the more comfortable way...

@Nvreloader When writing / reply, press the Attach Files button, (Red Arrow) which should open your Photos Library, then select from there. DG…

I assume you mean padded? Not cycling shorts, but just started to wear padded bib tights and am finding them to be very comfortable. They do different versions of these; padded shorts, padded bib short tights, etc. DG…

Today’s ride was just a quick one, but cut short by a door repair man who turned up early, so rushed back for that. First time using a new Brooks Cambium C19 Carved Saddle. Or, plank, as Mrs DG calls it. This one is the vulcanised version and is supposed to need no breaking in. It is hard...

Today, we had a ride (3 times) around Pitsford Water, an Anglian Water reservoir in Northampton. L Being a Bank Holiday, the place was absolutely packed. DG…

@dadooze Good job on fitting the tracker. But have you just given out the details of your home address? DG…

You both seem to be having a great time. DG…
