Big quads again

***MMUK*** · 02-07-2006, 09:50 AM

All this good weather has killed any gym based cardio for me so I've pumped up the tyres on my bike and went cycling last night, what a pump!

A stationary bike is NOTHING compared to a real bike on real roads, I was fkd in 20mins and my legs felt like they do after squatting, what a buzz.

I really enjoyed it and am hoping to build it up each night so I can do about an hour each night but keep going a little further to measure my fitness, kind of racing against myself in time trials.

The bloody mosquito things had a feast tho!

I agree, cycling on the roads and paths is awesome for the legs, really gives a good burn especially if you haven't gone for a while.

Keep it up ! i plan to go out in the week sometime for a cycle

i lost my driving license a few years back and cycled to work most days for 18 months and i loved it but can't motivate myself to get on the bike at the moment. i got really sad and used to time myself and race everything i could.
gym cardio is about as much fun as watching england take penalties
