Title: Just been for an old skool ride in old skool gear!! Couple of GT pics added
Post by: aerostylie on March 15, 2009, 01:33 PM: All the gear no idea springs to mind :LolLolLolLol:

The sun was out in Brum so decided to have a long ride in a VERY long time, down the Rea Valley cycle path in South Brum, visited the Kings Norton skatepark then rode on the path along some main roads...for maximum exposure ;D It was really rewarding, god knows what the neighbours thought :D

I'm in training for a charity cycle run for the British Heart foundation in July. Guys, if you can ride and the suns out do it, it's great for keeping fit and good for one's self esteem. I's a hot and sweaty bunny, but well happy :daumenhoch:

Paul :)

Nice one, if you ride the Rea Valley route through Stirchley there is a small, oldschool play track in Hazelwell park, good laugh if you're passing. :daumenhoch:

Title: Re: Just been for an old skool ride in old skool gear!!
Post by: aerostylie on March 15, 2009, 03:25 PM: Cheers guys, ain't ridden a distance in a very very long time, found out the brakes were pants, no stopping power at all :-\

Gotta thanks radmembers Animal and Cupid Stunt who put a post up yesterday about a ride they did, so thought why not.

The kids at the skatepark were asking if I was a racer :2funny: and what stunts I did and how much was the bike. Pete I only tried a fakie slider rollback and a peg kickturn (you've seen a million times before) but the surface was no good for the whitewalls......but did a few bunnies over kerbs :)

Felt like a kid all over again, think I'm gonna sleep well 2nite.

i should have text you ad, went up Llanishen today. weather top so wanted to ride. loads of us up there.
shame the start of the day was marred with alchohol poisoning due to going out with pritchard last nite. puked in me bed (luckily not on Sams side- ha) then the shits and more puking in the street at dinnertime. great start to the day. got some good pics later and rode too.

Title: Re: Just been for an old skool ride in old skool gear!!
Post by: aerostylie on March 16, 2009, 02:19 PM: Weather looks nice again today, gonna have another ride 2nite as soon as I get home from work.....it's like the old days.... coming home from school then going out on your BMX.....except I aint got any mates :'( ;D

Another reason I decided to start riding (apart from fitness) was that I bought a pair of Aero Race pants circa 82/83, the waist matches my current clothes but I've endulged in too many pukka pies and chips of late, so it's a bit of a mission to button em up.......ping/snap/flop out :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: aerostylie on March 17, 2009, 09:00 AM: And took a closer pic of the GT....changed the brake blocks from dia compe to tuff pads and seems to have helped braking.

Not the best build in the world but will do for a rider, gotta have a bit of colour as well 8). Prefer to have a custom look as well rather than as it was from the factory.......rear tuff is a bit off colour compared to the front I see :(

Yeah sounds like a plan :daumenhoch:.......I's a fair weather rider/pussy!!

Perhaps stick a post up when nearer the time, I'm sure there's other Radsters around that area, and we'll all go and feed the ducks as well ;D
