Loads of fat cnuts out cycling today. May be the sport for me!

I did a very modest 16km today in around 50 minutes on a fairly hilly route. First time on the saddle since Lap the Lough last August, so easing myself in gently!

Yep I thought I saw you



I got lost looking for these ones today

Seriously though, how much are these people eating if they are putting in the miles and their gut is still resting on their thighs as they pedal?!

It's a low impact sport in fairness, plenty of fat people are cyclists, they may not be able to run but by feck they can fairly motor on a bike

Most people over eat on the bike, take on lots of sugar and there's no need for it. It's possible to go for three hours anyway without anything, could even go without the breakfast and still manage it

50 mile today with only one weetabix in me but I drank 2 bottles of dilute while on the bike. Going to have to get a rid of a stone for this season though, can fairly notice it on the hills!

Tough conditions today. Really struggled with the pace on the way home but I was at a swimming at 6.30am today so I am blaming that for my legs feeling like lead! How do the pros do it day after day on the tour - even with the drugs!

Want to lose weight - go to spin class 2/3 times a week and put the effort in, dont eat rubbish, lay off alcohol (& bread if u can) and you'll lose a stone in a month / 6 weeks. I eat like a total hoorbag on the bike & have plateau'd there weight loss wise. spinning has took a stone off me this winter (mostly twice a week, with a cycle on weekend)

You doing an hour in the pool? Need to get back into the pool again, need at least 3 hours a week leading up to the season me thinks

Throw in some relatively heavy squats and deadlifts with that and you're laughing.

Yeah have been going 3 times a week to a class mon wed and Friday with the wife before work. Class training and it has brought my swimming on something shocking. It was 15 mins of leg kick as warm up, shit load of 50m sprints and then back stroke. You do an average of 70 lengths in the hour id say, much better than going by yourself as you wouldn't push yourself nowhere near as hard.

Strava is the market leader. It's more than an App. Pre Strava I had Velox on my android powered phone, was good, hard on battery.

Anyone ever use slane cycles? What type of bike are you boys riding or what one would you like? Id love a cervelo

I see someone has organised a 100 mile run on the giro route up the Antrim Coast. It was limited to 1,000 riders and £30 each. A handy £30k for the organiser. Anyone here enrolled?  It would be well outside my comfort zone
