Odlo extra warm base-layers are just the ticket.

They're frkkin ace. I thought the Helly hanssn stuff was good but the Odlo feels nice against the skin and seems to breathe a bit better.
I'm also fed up of the dangly bits (no not those dangly bits that chaffe as you mentioned), the reflective stripes - on a base layer? The metal zip - it's cold. The huge internal labels that you play Russian roulette with when you cut them.
I left my Rough Radical roll neck base layer with the neck stretched over a child's hanger for 4 weeks because it was too tight.
It's still a bit tight.

Just back from my BUPA MOT and got a couple of points of attention. At least we know the leg prob now - for MFs benefit as he will know these things, its a tear to the tendon on the Adductor Longus muscle. No big problems but have to be patient. Also got a referral to check out the results of the prostate tests - nothing to worry about apparently as just a precaution so may just have to treat it with alcohol for now until I see a specialist in January.

Even as a full on socialist, there’s times where I’d appreciate a bit of private health care these days. Alcohol seems like a good plan though Stevo!

Got it so may as well use it - they would have had me in to see them sooner if it wasn't for Christmas! They were at pains to say its only a precautionary so chill, but still want to know if I have a problem asa bloody p.

In the meantime, I'll pickle it. Just wrapping up at the office then off till 4th Jan so the interim treatment starts tonight

Interest flag. My right leg has been problematic for a few months now, but seems ok on bike, plus I get these occasional searing cramps on the inner thigh muscle, think it's the adductor, usually while asleep in bed 😳. Knee and hip feel stiff, walking I'll be almost limping for 10 mins or so before it eases off.

Any similarities? I have a repeat round of blood test check for whatever levels of whatever and then (virtual prob) confab with GP early January. He was at a bit of a loss last time to explain, so if it could be a tear on a tendon or the like, I could ask about that.

stretching is a sign of weakness. turn up cold, smash it out full gas straightaway, retire straight to bar for Guinness, 'scratchins, 'Bensons. #sorted

any strains, pains, etc: #wankitout

orraloon

Ah right, need to go along with profeshnul expertise so #wankitout it is then.

(Btw I thought that this countree had had enough of experts, no?)

@Stevo_666 adductor longus tear is the reason I had to stop playing football. I still can't properly play because of it (13 years later), but everything else - running and cycling included - is absolutely fine.

Sending good vibes re the prostate referral.

Very nice of you sir but this situation requires a bit of context:
Man decides to move house.
Man is pre-occupied with getting rid of stuff/boxing stuff up.
Man does little cycling in the interim and gets out of shape.
Man decides that now he's moved, he feels the need to go pedal.
Man picks very hilly route and pulls something.

He should man up, head to the bar, drink Guinness, eat scratchings and grab a packet of Bensons.

Yo dudes, one more day of reading and attempting to write something that resembles a coherent piece. Got in early to go to the gym but it was closed. Opened at 12 so I went late afternoon which made a nice change.
Last time I saw someone buying a pack of Bensons they were £12 something for a 20 pack.
I can remember smoking Lambert and Butler at 99p for 10.

Only way I can survive 90 minutes of football these days, proper 45 minutes of stretching prior to the game.

I thought stretching prior to exercise was a big no no these days.

Including shoes, I dressed up in £600 worth of cycle clothing.
Despite this, my hands were frozen. The rest if me was fine.

I bought a pair of Lusso winter gloves highly rated by some cycling web site and they're shyte.
I am going back to glove liner + glove.

In other news, Odlo men's active leg tights and Odlo base layer are utterly utterly lush. Probably as lush as the warm embrace of TDV round the back of Edwyn's.

You recommended those shyte gloves to another forum member who went and bought a pair (not me) poor show Pinno 😔

You're dead right. But but my heating system is a bit dodgy after it was nuked.
They are good until you hit 8 deg c.
Today was waaay out of the Lusso comfort range at 4.5 deg c into an easterly.

The current Aldi winter gloves are ok, been fine cycling in them just below zero, my central heating hasn't been extended to my hands.
Hiking in -10 windchill they struggle, even with liner gloves.

At least it's not the dickus longus muscle.

Hope that comes back with a stop wasting our time result.

Our work bupa doesn't include the check ups and they're quite expensive as an extra although I'm tempted to fork out for one just for a laugh to see what they can find.

Loon, there are a few similarities but overall it sounds like something different. This never bothers me when I'm not moving, and it's not a cramp type feeling - bit of a sharp pain which I originally thought might be a trapped nerve or something but doctor was pretty confident it was the tendon on the Adductor Longus. It may well be you have a problem in the same area/same muscle but likely a different type of problem.

Maybe try a physio consultation?

In the meantime, here's a pic which might give you a better idea of whether it is that muscle.

Thanks Ben, good to know. As long as I can cycle and run eventually that's OK. Also I was a to cycle after I had stopped running with a mystery thigh tightness in late summer. Which is kind of good as it tells me cycling puts less stress on that muscle.

Doc advised patience as connecting tissue can take 3 months to heal: that's end of Jan then.

Injury was already there. Problem was I thought it had gone away after giving it a rest for a few days so went out on the bike and did more damage. I think.

Thx for that. Sounds like it is something different. Cycling efforts have been fine. Think my adductors are weaker than should be: the gym leg stretch machine abductor / adductor, push legs apart / pull legs together one, has shown me weaker on the pull together which I think is the adductor one. Tripled the reps to work on it.

Yeah might get some physio input.

Ta Thistle. Ours is all inclusive so I'm using them. I used my annual check up to get a real check up from the doc on the leg when he asked if there was anything particular I wanted looking at, as the physio thing had been virtual.

Fingers crossed the prostate thing is a false alarm but am now working on pickling the problem.

Already had it. Until this year I'd been lucky and had lady doctors.

The damn Lusso one's are too tight to fit a liner. Maybe, I should have gone a size up.

45 mins?!

I get away with 20 mins after a ride and sometimes, later in the day and on off days; another stretch.
But running after a ball I expect, puts far more pressure on the body.

On a serious note. Hope all goes OK. I hate the various necessary tests for prostate problems, but would sooner air on the side of caution. I hate the C word in any variety having seen it's legacy to family and friends.

Thanks Oxo. I'm not worrying yet, will see what comes out of the PSA test next week.
