Thanks ...*MrDaveyGie *CarlosRibeiro *taio *Tracey W<br />Thanks for the comments..it was certainly a wise decision not to ride.<br /><br /><br />*J_on_tour<br />Your right- that road through Corfe can be pretty busy..the summer months tend to be the worst.<br /><br />*Mark<br />1968 was the last time I rode a single speed. It was a fixie with a flip wheel so you could ride fixed or just single speed. I lived in a flat area then. I don't think that I would want to ride one in this hilly area. I actually like riding gears and don't want to get off and walk up a hill..LOL<br />As for the competitive side of riding I enjoy that too even though sometimes my performance can let me down- but that is all part of my enjoyment of it...<br />Will you be coming to the BPC meet Friday week?TrevorW�� https://www.blogger.com/profile/13212954091289189979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-82726135525382421292011-03-23T22:25:51.963+00:002011-03-23T22:25:51.963+00:00I've been commuting on the single speed recent...I've been commuting on the single speed recently - one of the nice things about it is that you stop worrying about speeds and any sort of competition because it is not comparable with other bikes. If you're riding in a group there's no pressure because everyone expects you to be slow on the hills, to walk even - also good for the legs as you have to learn to spin fast.The bike shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05195882998271591934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-44462676055116979072011-03-23T18:39:58.712+00:002011-03-23T18:39:58.712+00:00Sounds like a wise decision to me.

Could have left in the dry, but almost guaranteed to get wet before we got home, so I opted to not do it.Tracy Whttp://Www.Springfieldcyclist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-57961112937789265212011-03-23T07:01:42.657+00:002011-03-23T07:01:42.657+00:00Glad to hear that you are back on the wheels again...Glad to hear that you are back on the wheels again and it's good to know that you can pick your days. Once I was so determined to go camping to do Lake District hill walking in inappropriate weather that I got a severe chest infection. Although I have camped on a lot of occasions since, I am always wary about it particularly when friends choose a date months in advance.<br />The only time I have been to Corfe it definitely didn't look like this.... it was difficult to cross the road !!J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-48551667449675014222011-03-23T05:06:19.455+00:002011-03-23T05:06:19.455+00:00It was a wise decision, my comrade.

Moreover, it seems much more pleasant to travel by bike on a sunny day than in the rain.Carlos Ribeirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00710190479047275302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5125377846799056778.post-6180334373086126372011-03-23T01:36:31.867+00:002011-03-23T01:36:31.867+00:00Sunny days are coming, and your riding is gonna be...Sunny days are coming, and your riding is gonna be ready.
