PH Cycling Jersey - Spotted
Discussion
Heard by me and spotted by my wife behind - a triathlete going along the Phoenix Way near Thame. Sorry I didn't spot you or respond - by the time I realised what had happened we were past you. It was also my first cycle on clipless pedals so spent a lot of time concentrating. The triathlon looked like hard work in that heat so kudos for even attempting it. ![clap](/inc/images/clap.gif)

As I said, I'm more of a lurker these days (and pretty busy getting ready for this - http://scottexpedition.com )
Now that's a proper long cold walk ! Good luck. ![thumbup](/inc/images/thumbup.gif)

Spotted on the Frieth Road heading towards Moorend Wood, Bucks, tonight at about 8:15pm. I was heading in the other direction and gave you a BIG wave
, just a shame I didn't have my PH top on, Bugger!

Me again, I am guessing you were the chap in the Wiggle top! I did give a shout and a wave, is it just me or is that stretch very draggy?

Hurrah!, yes it is very draggy, I did it on my way to work Monday morning and my legs were aching! Great to see you, I almost stopped but was on my way home after an evening rider of about 30 odd miles with a short pub stop in Watlington just before Christmas Common Hill (Hill Rd).
Nice to see a friendly face, there are some miserable buggers about at the moment! - also got a thumbs up from a Gold Wedge near Sonning and a Porker in Henley!If you are out in the Watlington area seek out Britwell Hill on the road to Benson - found it last Friday, great climb! Then turn left at the top and you can descend on Howe Road back into Watlington - I recorded my fastest speed on that hill at 56mph last year!
Turned out my ride tonight was not to shabby in the end, considering I spent most of the time daydreaming I am quite happy with this; http://app.strava.com/activities/67622506
I will keep my eye out for you, I ride the Chilterns quite a lot so there is a good chance my ugly mug will be passing in the other direction some time soon!

JTFC! You're not kidding ![eek](/inc/images/eek.gif)
I took my first spin on a road bike today, since last October

Still, at least I've got back on it, and out on the open road, without issue. Lesson learned in terms of appropriate clothing though. Baggy shorts with cotton undercrackers is a recipe for chafing apparently. Never again, even if I am only 'nipping out to the LBS'. Same goes for the comedy 'Muttley' t-shirt. Not exactly a wicking base layer, that.
S6PNJ last night at Christmas Common along with another P/H-er who's name I have rather embarrassingly forgotten!
Nice chatting to you guys last night, I think the idea of a P/H ride out from the Rebellion brewery around the Chilterns and back to Rebellion could have legs, maybe we need to start a thread........![wink](/inc/images/wink.gif)

Saw a chap cycling into Marlow, Bucks, Friday mid afternoon, probably about 3:15 ish at a guess. First time I've seen a jersey and I've not been on my bike - have to say the jerseys do look good! I'll be out in mine today doing a pre route ride (100 miles) for the Marlow Red Kite Ride sportive on 1st Sep.

That may have been me (especially if the zip was open), I entered Marlow at 3pm on the A4155 from Henley before turning left onto Oxford Road (towards Platts Garage) to head up to Frieth.Gassing Station | Pedal Powered | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
