Road Cycling
Hi everyone,
Does anyone in road cycling out there?
I have been lured by my hubby in road cycling and I must admit that I've been hooked at it ever since! I am looking for someone who have the same passion and would like to join a ride, and maybe we can organise a filippino-uk road cycling venues.
I hope to hear from you guys and ladies

I can't say I've seen many lycra clad cyclists out in the Phil's, but I have seen plenty of non motorised trikes in Manila
True I haven't seen much either... errmmm, I guess wearing lycra in Phil is definitelt a no no.

I'd love to get back into it....just to get fit again.
Here's the one I bought, plus hundreds of £s worth of equipment to cycle to Hong Kong on. Now has front and rear panniers.

Always cycled in the Phils too.
Hey Graham,
That's a pretty cool touring bikey!!! Oh hell, that needs to get back on the road!

Yes, I guess you're right.
That pic is just after I got it.
Saddle is about 6 inches higher (for me) now
I WILL get back into it soon.
I used to cycle a few hundred miles a week before I got arthritis, now I can't even get on the damn bike
My first racer was a Dawes ... great bikes

Hmm.
I have a lot of pain in my muscles and joints too - shoulders and arms mostly (for a few months), but have not bothered to go to the doc....as usual.
It is actually painful getting out of bed (not meant to be funny
I might need more than Radox this time.
Sounds a good tripHere's the one I bought, plus hundreds of £s worth of equipment to cycle to Hong Kong on.
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
Is there any way that you can go back cycling again? it may benefit your health somehow...
We just came back from road cycling in France- beautiful places...I will definitely go back again...

Wow Tawi, that sounds fantastic! I've just started my road cycling adventure last year- I did MTB previously but got converted to race bike now.
Tell us more about your cycling experiences on the places you visited.

Vitamins and everyday smoothie will help

I think you're right.
I've been very inactive this past few months, whereas previously, quite the opposite.
Time to stop being a lazy
From my 33rd birthday, when I discovered almost by accident just how unfit I was, until about my 67th I ran at least 4 times a week (did first two London Marathons) then I did power walking and cycling, as my joints were beginning to be noticeable, and for the past 4 years I cycle 22 km 4 days a week (in around 48 mins).
I am probably fitter now at 71 that I was when I was 33.
Incidentally, I have had arthritis of the spine (ankylosing spondylitis) since I was 21, but fortunetaly I don't get much pain with it. I am fairly sure that the exercise program I have been following has contributed greatly to that. Also, I take Glucosamine Sulphate and that too has helped a lot.
I know it's 'horses for courses' but I would recommend a regular exercise program to almost everyone, but the most important advice, if one has not been into exercise, is start slowly. It cannot be too slow. and build up slowly. I have had friends over the years who have seen me running and thought they would have a go. Most ignored the start slowly advice, and after one run were in such pain that they never continued.
My mother walked about 1.5 miles to and from church every day, rain, hail, snow, up to the age of about 88. At 82 she did a 10 mile sponsored walk (she had gone to the start to make the tea for those taking part but when she saw how few turned up, she put on her shoes and did the walk) and then did it again each year until she was 88. She said getting the money in was harder than the 10 miles !
I like riding my bike when its not pissing it down the rain,(like it has been lately lol)...its not brilliant but its got a light alloy frame using extruded tubes,so its a good foundation to upgrade the other components as they fail

It's very easy to fall into a couch potato status! But a little bit of effort will give you a lot of benefit health wise and it helps clearing your mind, I really find it liberating especially when my head is overloaded

Hey guys,
Sorry this is out of topic- I just wanted to have clean replies and posts.
1. How can I paste pics on the message box?
2. How can I get the quote reply box?
I appreciate your help

Noooo!Electric BIKE! have you thought about it?
That's a cop out.
Keith would probably take it into consideration

Yes, you pressed the 'quote reply' button'.
Next step, either press the 'insert image' button, and upload pics from your pc (takes forever, and quality is low) or copy and paste pic's url from your online storage site (photobucket,etc).
For youtube videos, press the 'insert video' button and paste the address line of the youtube video directly into it. Voila!

Graham,
Thank you very much I've been reading the FAQ these last couple of minutes and it feels like I need to learn all the do's and don'ts and it's taking loads of time, but I'm getting there- I will probably get my pics saved in a storage site first and will try for the videos later on.

Glucosamine Sulphate does work without a doubt
I used to get stiff fingers and joints plus have arthritis in right knee (due to years of Sunday league) but I found taking Glucosamine Sulphate really works
Funny I have just taken up walking/slow jogging to get fit and loose weight and starting to feel benefits after 2 weeks already.
Bloody hard to get back into it but I'm using an app on the phone called Runkeeper and it is great for tracking how far you been/average speed/calories burnt etc.
