My bike is now complete since a few weeks already. The first time i’ve tried, only 50 meters only because my chain broke, the chain link in fact. After repairing it a tried the second attempt and broke the chain 200 m erters away this time. So i went to halfords and putrchased a sigma taya link. A real shit, it’s impossible to install it. Some people can but definitely not me. Finally the local bike shop had the kmc that i need and 5 seconds later everythnig was ko.
As i don’t know where to go and not to be lost in the middle of nowhere, a quick visit no googlemap to know where it is possible to go.
from doncaster to high melton, not a lot but for me who didn’t ride a bike for 3.5 years this is really hard now.
This sunday 28 march i took the same way but went further , so about 22 kilometers. i was on my knee, really with no legs at all. moreover when i had to climb even if there’s no hill ! Just me trying to find my muscles . I’m 71 kilos for 1.79. 3.5 years earlier i was weighting between 63 and 67 max, an averange of 63 kg.
Roads are not so bad considering it is countryside. A least i consider it as a good training, the aim isn’t to go fast but to do well and relearn what i’ve lost.
My tires are veloflex, good ones nothing bad to say maybe not so comfortable but the roads didn’t help.
