Recovery pedal
Not quite 30 miles of fixie riding into Manchester with Trio. Has done my legs the world of good. And it didn't rain. I love my bike. Like a doofus I forgot to take any pictures.

mmm...so maybe if i had a fixie my legs would recover better from runs...
Works for me!
I wish riding fixed worked for me.
Spinning at a million rpm down the hills always has my legs aching for days.
Ahh red you are doing it wrong, we were on a flat road!
I didn't take any pictures either Jumbly! But then I didn't have cake either!
Look forward to the next ride, maybe not into Manchester this time though.
Red - Yep, Trio has said it all. Fixies are for flat rides. Freewheels, gears, these are the things for hills!
Trio - maybe the coast?
I have a fixed ride to Southport planned as soon as I have the time. It wont be this weekend, maybe the weekend after.
I'm still gutted about riding 200+miles to the sea last weekend only to find there was no beach or chips or, or anything sea-side like! Just some wrotten ferry terminal.
Red - Holyhead is a ferry port, not the seaside! You should have stopped at Llandudno on the way, that's got all the proper seaside stuff. There's tonnes of amazing beaches on Anglesey too.
Personally I think there are much nicer bits of coast than Southport to ride to from where you are.
My plan was to ride from Holyhead to one of the campsites over-looking a beach on Anglsey. (Or maybe even wild camp in the forest by the beach). However, it was far too windy to even think about pitching a tent, which is why I ended up catching the train off the island.
Where do you recommend?
I'm after a long but FLAT ride.
BTW: I have a 19t fixed wheel sprocket i've been meaning to post to you for ages. Keep reminding me. I'm useless!
