It was a pretty leisurely ride - too much beer and not enough food yesterday meant I was a bit sluggish.
Out of the embarrassing sums of money I spent in racing days, the best investments have been: Assos bibs (as others have said)...pro teams remove and stitch assos padding’s on their sponsored brands (that good)
a nice set of veloflex tires with latex inner tubes (best mimics tubular ride feel)
Proper fitting shoes (Bont for me as I have wide feet)
and making sure ur pedals/clips are fitted right..a few degrees off will ruin ur ride and ur knees..
I'm not too worried about it. I did 2 and bit laps of Richmond Park yesterday for a total of 22 miles including getting to and from the park. Legs were feeling it a bit the third time up Sawyer's Hill, but I actually feel pretty good today.
The nice thing is that the hills are a lot easier now than they were 3 weeks ago. I'm getting a bit closer in speed to the serious cyclists as well. They aren't totally out of sight a couple minutes after they have overtaken me. Based on what I did yesterday, I'm wondering whether I can crack 3 hours now.
It was a fantastic way to lose weight though, especially if you're spending 5 - 6000 calories a week, sometimes more.

I wouldn't really I 'd just wait and then ride on safely

So far I've lost just over a stone. I've cut my calorie consumption down and have started strength training again. In terms of cycling I'm using a dedicated trek commuter, it weighs a ton. The bike has mud guards and a bike rack.
I had a puncture on the way to work. I bought some marathon plus tyres, so fingers crossed that'll be a thing of the past. I'm keeping it cheap atm. Goal number one is to shift the blubber, one stone down and two to go.
look up Bike radar silly commuter racing
century training ride for me yesterday (well, 99 miles)....hard slog and I’m not entirely sure how I’m going to manage to run a marathon afterwards in 3 weeks haha.
Was a nice day to be out though and my bike tan is looking much crisper now.
