Cotic Roadrat

Looking at the cotic road rat to get me to work. Not sure if a splurge of £600.00 is worth it. It does look very nice but is it commuter friendly?

E.g. commuter bikes just need to get from a to b but I would possible want disk breaks to be added to them.

Llandegla

Llandegla blue today. I didnt have a lot of time so thought I would try the blue for a change. The blue flows a lot more than the red and is really good for a quick sprint. Ok it isn't as technical as the red but as long as your having fun who cares what colour track your riding.

One note is that they were tree felling when I was there so watch out for logs and lorries as they were felling right next to the track of the blue. On the way home someone ran into the back of my car so although the ride was good I wasn't best pleased.

Total Ride Time: 40 mins
Average BPM: 170

Llandegla

Did Llandegla Red in 1 hour 5 mins today. Quite please as I haven't been able to get out on my bike as much as I wanted due to various job and university interviews.

Total Ride Time: 1 hour 5 mins
Average BPM: 162

Moel Famau

Moel Famau training today. Did a replica of the Merida Ruthin 50km route. Can tell that my fitness on the climbs is getting better. I've started doing some core stability training to improve my fitness after reading WhatMountainBike Magazine.


Total Ride Time: 2 hour 30 mins
Average HR: 162 bpm

Llandegla

Llandegla today. Really got some speed on the initial climb that took 15 mins. Trying to get in some practice bunnyhopping and manualing to nail the down hill bits quicker to break the 1 hour mark.
