The ones that came last. They'll be easy to name.:rolleyes:

Dark Wing - apologises in the first instance to you. I've used your thread "random thoughts" as 1, I didn't want to start ANOTHER thread and 2, thought that "random thoughts" as a heading was the most appropriate heading currently active... I've been road cycling for about a year and I really...

Idiot!!! Where was his helmet:mad:

How good is it? As a recreational rider would I benefit from a dose? Would like to hear from anyone who has used it. Seriously I have no intention of using it, I wouldn't know how to source it but I would like to understand the degree of benefit/improvement it provides.

WOW - how many threads!!!! How many replies!!! Impossible to keep up unless you're tuned in 24/7... DISC - Newish to cycling so not that knowledgeable in this area....but.... From what I've gleened one would have to assume that the majority of the cyclists who are regulary competing for...

When will Lance get caught out? I don't know but what I [think] can say is....cycling must be most corrupt sport of all sports! Bleeding hell !! Even a website like this actually has an "area" solely for doping related discussions! What does that tell ya! It appears to me that doping is rife...

I discovered Wiggles recently and given the Kiwi dollar against the Pound [actually most other currencies] at the moment, I got some great deals! They even include postage over a certain amount.... Anyway it's a great time to have Kiwi dollars and buying "gear" from overseas...

Who went to the sale? Was there plenty of bargins. Bikes?

No, a male. Had a few rides and definately bareback from now on. However I do have another question. It's now getting colder and tights [without chamios] are the plan. So, under the bib or over the top?

Thanks brian! I'm glad I'm not the only panty wearer! I'll report back tomorrow as I plan to go bareback...:D Thanks for your imput gents. Surprisingly I thought woman might have supplied their opinion;)

O.k. O.k. O.k. I know. I know.:o:o I shouldn't have raised the topic! What abt "clinkers"!!:D

Well I'm asking for some smart replies but I just need to get a handle on this! I wear underpants under my chamois/bib. Reason? well I guess it doesn't seem "proper" to not wear anything under a pair of shorts [bib].. I've got a feeling that the majority are going to say they wear nothing under...

Correct me please, but there seems to be an underlying dislike towards Rock Racing? Disc - I think the apparel looks "sick". Where's the Tour of Britain jersey? Shane - send some gear over to me and I'll do cheap marketing!!:D

Thanks for the replies. I like the "big ring" theory so I'll try it and see how it goes. In general I think my biggest problem is the amount of time I spend riding [as pointed out in an earlier reply]. Having a fulltime job and a young family makes it impossible to spend evenings and weekends...

I've been riding nearly 12 months. During that time I would have riden 2500kms. When I started I was able to average 26kms per hour for upto 1 hour of riding. Now I can average 29-30kms per hour for up to 2 hours. Included in my rides [50% of my rides] I would do some hill work. Prior to Xmas...
