Tarzan appears to be swinging round in small circles today - possibly he doesn't want to stray too far from the nearest bike shop
It doesn’t matter where you start. Just start.
Hernia Hill is a swine to get to thobut - traffic lights and divers Londonton hazards abound.
Two things strike me after watching his videos on FB:1. He always seems to be next to a hideously busy and noisy road. Not my image of a peaceful rural Florida at all.2. He seems to be a really nice chap. Which is a shame Bryn
I think it's cardiovascular rather than breathing. While an upright riding position is certainly good for breathing, a laid-back one is also better than a typical bike-riding crouch.(I don't think my belly is particularly heavy, I carry my lard on my arse.)
Another 200+ miles in the bank.GO TARZAN

If Kurt and Steves heart rates drop anymore they will turn blue!
Comparing them on Strava - each of Steve's rides typically gets kudos from 1200-1500 people compared with 100-200 for Kurt's.
I've ridden lots with Steve but never heard of Kurt before late last year. I have philosophical preferences as to how some things should be done, regardless of the rules. Who do you think I am going to support?
P.S Who are the Metu tribe?

Kim, you are very bad!

It was the discussion on acceptable language that needed to be split from the thread it was moving off topic - not the discussion on 'Tarzan' I'm sure it was a genuine mistake, made by a newbie mod who isn't familiar with the function, and will be rectified just as soon as they work out what button to press.
