Anyone doing the Wicklow 200 on Sunday? Giving it another go but i've only about 1/4 of the training i had done this time last year as i'd an awful run of luck with illness this winter & spring.

Still no sign of the Optforlife cycle top either, ordered 11 days ago :-[

Bought this yesterday.


Got some great reviews on bikeradar.com and other sites I checked and Halfords are having a bank holiday sale this weekend so got it for €435.
Not a top of the range bike I know but I didn't want to spend a fortune on something that will probably spend the winter in the shed!
Took it for a quick 20km spin this evening and I can't get over how nicer it is to ride than the last bike I had which was a mountain bike.
Very happy with it.I have a bit of a sore hole after it though,the seat isn't as soft as the last bike!

Great wee bike and a big change from the mountain bike for you.   Just need to get the miles done now

I had planned to do it and the burren this year but saving my money for France.  You could be out a fortune with this cycling craic with the amount of charity cycles that are on.

Hopefully ur run of bad luck is over benny, nothing worst than seeing ones out on the bike and yours is stuck in the shed

Wicklow was spectacular yesterday, beautiful conditions, be a long time before it's done again in those conditions. 126miles of enjoyable torture, near 7,500ft of climbing.

That's sum going! Serious amount of climbing in that. How long did it take you?

All day, a days work. 8 & 3/4 hours actual riding time, we cruised round at our leisure. I was reading the cycling boards beforehand and fellas planning to refuel on the bike & not take breaks - now that is maddness, cant see were the enjoyment is in that, especially on such a beautiful day. Some serious hotties about yesterday too

Programme on 5Live at the minute on 100 years of the Toure de France.  I assume it will be available as a podcast.  Very interesting.
