What have you been doing today?

[Bodd]

averaged 158 so far this year, target 7500 miles for the year. Sounds utterly implausible I know, I'm utterly bemused at how far I can go, very slow, average about 10mph - all a bit odd really. Not even interested in doing exercise of being fit, just love been out in the countryside.

Brilliant sounds like a great day. Cycling is keeping me fit. Hope I can get near what your doing per week. We'll done.

Looks a very well made well speced touring bike..About £1500 new.

It was bought at an Aldi in Hannover for about 300Euros, He asked the German worker there if it was strong enough to ride to the uk and he was right...

It's not bad for an Aldis bike

Finished fibre glassing the flat roof I started yesterday (home project). I'll tell you something for nothing, it's not as easy as they make it look on youtube.

the resin is messy gooey stuff, If you get it on your gloves, shoes or clothes you can end up leaving marks that dont come off.

the matting doesnt always sit nice and flat -Ive had problems in the past where the matting has been doubled up and ending up with a bit of ponding.

weather is a nightmare -GRP gets spoilt in rain, yet it dries too quick in full sun on a summers day -a pain for scheduling where plasterers and screeders are booked.

It's horrible sh1tty stuff to handle that's for sure and I'm still itching. I wont be rushing to do another one.
