I got an e-mail from Kent-Trails today. Apparently they are planning on riding in Swinley too if you fancy tagging along. I'm easy either way, i know there is a few bits we all like to do a few times. Anyway, i'm being kicked out of my room now as my Nan is sleeping in my bed, so Happy Christmas everybody!!!

Kent-Trails are meeting at 9am at the lookout. I don't mind what we do really. It would be nice to meat up with them as i haven't rode with them much lately, but if you prefer we do our own thing that's fine with me. As Nick suggested, we could ride with them in the morning then head off to our favorite haunts in the afternoon, if we want to make a whole day of it.

what is it?

Russ- £10 is fine with me If you can get the 4th off we can do the deal then. Oh and "this years Afan trips" Do you guy's still fancy doing the Coast to Coast and French Alps too

Mark- They've rode at Swinley several times before, and Michael usually ensures that they do as little fireroad as possible. They usually ride for 4 hours and around 35-40 miles on Sunday's.

breezer

That rules me out of the 4th ride then if they go that far and you lot are thinking of riding more in the afternoon! Will have to try and get my fitness up this year

Its a gyro ball, basically by the action of your wrist or arm you make it spin inside itself. The faster you make it spin the heavier it gets due to the weights pushing outwards. Im sat at working playing with it at the moment, its meant to really improve grip and forearms strength which is something i lack in. When it spins fast you know about it, when you finish you can barely move you arm as its so knackered.

I gotta get me one of those, sounds like just what i need! My hands and shoulders always ache like hell after a long ride. I'v been trying weights on and off for years but i get bored after 5 minuets. What speed have you two got up to so far?

stevet1992

:shock: those things are painful, theres some down the gym and ive sworn never ever to go near them again

a bit of self loving helps to strengthen the wrisst i joke i joke

im off to halfords in a bit to see if i can get a camelback below the CRC prices :P
