Good place around here is the Filling Factory at Buckshaw village, they have a great bar area with furniture made from pallets.. I have a couple of photos but it won't let me upload them. Try them on Trip Advisor though - they have a few decent pix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that sound right? It needs consistency and like any cardio training time. Think of it like a flattening curve. It’s kind of hard to explain writing it. Any sort of incline has an effect on it because your body is then working harder and oxygen needs pumping around at different rates, it takes adjustment and time and in some cases it can take months. the flatter the route the quicker you will adapt. That’s why long distance runners train at high altitude on flat courses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobarp Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Work have just reopened cycle to work window for us and am now tempted. Are we saying a hybrid bike is best? I wouldn’t go to far off road with it but also wouldn’t stick solely to roads. And how much do I need to spend to get something decent ?

By off road I’m talking about gravel paths and coastal tarmac paths rather than really off road. Majority would be road though so maybe I just stick to the road. would hybrid still be best option?

I did the Guild Wheel on a road bike once but the skinny tyres were sliding everywhere. Hybrid will be fine for regular paths. You'll not be taking it up Ben Nevis any day soon, I don't think. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted May 22, 2020 Moderators Share Posted May 22, 2020 We have some cheapish scales that are supposed to measure body fat and water Is it magic or is there a formula it's using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an electrical current from the scales up into your body and back down to the sensors. Body fat isn’t a great conductor of electricity so the more resistance the higher the fat, in theory. Its called Bio electrical impedance analysis and it can measure, Fat, water, muscle and bone mass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 The Boditrax machine at Bolton One had my 'metabolic age' down as twenty eight. So it's obviously a sophisticated and precise bit of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
