That fella in the first picture is risking a nasty case of crushed sweetbreads.

Nah, I reckon he's got some of those axle foot pegs like them BMXers use...

That's what she thinks too.

I came across this photo from Nottingham circa 1910 and wondered what the cycling suit might have looked like ?

And then, I found this.

So the answer seems to be, less formal than a posh suit, with knickerbockers. And a hat. Must always have a hat!

Only a guinea for a complete outfit, that's a good deal?

"An excellent good thing".

I'll have one of those please.

[IslandPink]

Too right !

Well, I did 1hr39min today, saw the sunset and finished in the twilight.
That's 3 rides over the Christmas/ New Year break. Let's hope i can continue reasonably well through January while it gets a bit lighter.
Today was a bit cool but very fine after a couple of really wet days. The hills looked very good with the low light and the winter colours. The valley was flooded (no surprise) on the way back across to Denbigh, lots of nice reflections.

I got my 2022 total from Ride with GPS yesterday, 3 rides, totaling 37.8 miles in 3hrs 28 mins 4 secs.

Ooofff.

'Must try harder'.

All fascinating...

That's probably on the high end of what someone with Fibromyalgia can do, Dave !

I'm concerned about the potential challenge from Mike in 2023 though, 'specially now he's putting on his shoes and socks...

[IslandPink]

I'm a little concerned that Ray is now 67.6 miles above the earth's surface.
