Peak 8 at Breck is 12998 ft, so that's about 3963m I think. It can hurt.

I say cool because the Himalayas are spectacular, and dodgy because I've experienced Indian organisation first hand.


It would be amazing to start a ride in Shimla. I did a ride from Delhi to Chandigarh last year. After finishing the ride we were driven up to Shimla for the day. What an incredible place. I only wish I had more time to explore the area.

I went to a couple of McDonalds in India. They have signs up saying that they don't sell any beef or beef products. I'm not sure what that was in the other burgers but I stayed with the chicken.

Mind you, they didn't have a Maccas in Shimla.

I've got a theory that stationary riding is so uncomfortable because the bike doesn't move around (at all!!) the way we're used to on the road.

Hey 531, to carry on from some comments in the old TAT - my brother rang me to say he saw the Malmsteen gig advertised and wants to see how it compares to the Steve Vai gig of all those years ago. Looks like I'd better dig out the ear plugs & start growing my hair!!

No rain bike (yet) but once I build up the very light steel frame that's sitting in the study even as I type, then the ally bike will become the wet weather bike.

What a coincidence, they don't sell any here either...

I'm getting this strange feeling of deja vu...... all these user names I recognise from the other place are cropping up in threads all over the place on this site. A lot of them have Jul 2006 join dates.

I dunno why people don't like trainers... I do an hour a day minimum on mine in front of the telly. 10min W/U 10 min C/D and 40 minutes of intervals in between. I start getting bored after 2 hours but I don't do that too often.

I only get to ride in the evenings at the moment (2 jobs) but I reckon the trainer helped heaps fer the TT I just did.

I just hate riding on the indoor trainer. The time I will use it is if I go to a spin class, but that's pretty rare. I'd rather ride on the road. I only really bail if it is pissing down before I head out.

No rain bike either, except I will sometimes go for a splash round the bush tracks on the MTB instead of a road ride when it is really wet.
