Cycling is great for fitness and keeping you healthy, but to burn fat (e.g calories) you need to really push yourself when your out.  And get a HR monitor...get your heart rate up into your "zone" and away you go.  I am back doing Spin classes at  my gym...once I've done this for a few more weeks I may invest in a decent road bike.  I lost mine in the divorce (arrrgghhh)

Nice bike though Horse.....why doesn't it surprise me that you have a tricked up bike!

[EXJ10R]

well horse you can keep your two pots i got side pulls and a double seat so when i pull the ladys i can give em a backy in style,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Can't belive thats a real chopper! I had one, my dad got it for me secondhand, just when all the other lads were getting BMX's, I was only eight years old, didn't quite fare as well as the others when we all went to the local BMX track. Ever tried jumping a chopper? It weighed about thirty ton at that age, especially when it went wrong, proper scabs on elbows and knees and a thick ear for putting a hole in my new school trousers.

I liked me old chopper but now use the raleigh grifter in the fast colour red...

Ive got a Banshee X, its a Halfords thing and its an ok bike.......................or I thought it was until I was taking a hill in three jumps and my son went over the top of me, little sod took the hill in one jump    He rides a Santa Cruz V10, his forks are like a bloody moto X bike,  its even got 4 pot hylraulic calipers front and back. Hes a flamin nut. He has a brand new 2007 Banshee X frame for sale if anyone is interested.

Inferior machinery - The best excuse there is for getting beaten

A Grifter? Pah, I had a Striker with the "pedal back " back brake. Best skids ever!!!!

Swapped it eventually for a Raleigh Burner BMX with the "aero" frame and promptly snapped it in half doing monster ramp jumps in the back fields

Bet someone had a Raleigh Budgie............................but will they own up to it

well and at least it's a start for fat old me........ I managed to get out on Sunday and rode 7 miles seemignly through quite a lot of mud too and enjoyed every minute. It's agreed to be a regular thing now and Pat's coming along too from this Sunday so we have a group of three already.......

Can't say it was easy though but really enjoyed it all 

I'll clear a bit of fat I reckon and ina couple of months it'll all feel like time well spent 

we are riding at Delamere forest it' a good place for all abilities I reckon and yes Chris once I'm to a resonable level of fitness we'll try Llandela too    and then Betws also

and Pat's coming along too from this Sunday so we have a group of three already.......

Enjoy your threesome with Pat

Andy you're far too keen     spinning twice a week 

Myself and Paul (and now Pat) are just starting and I can hardly get out of the car let alone ride up a hill

He.....he....I remember playing rugby one Saturday for one of the lower sides on the way back from injury and one of the old boys pulled a hamstring lifting his kit bag out of his car!  So you be careful old boy 

Pm or drop me a text when ur going next.   If you about this weekend, let me know.  Get the new bike christened with some cheshire mud.  Plus probably a few bruises for me when I fall the feck off!
