Yes, did not have that empty feeling at all, also good food & drink intake 2 days leading up to event which is important. Bad patch was due to 1st 3.5 hours at too high a HR, just been looking at Garmin stats. Fluid intake just right too, did not have to stop. Another clubmate had to stop for a slash and went in a field and fell over backwards wetting himselfOriginally Posted by daz h

Be interesting to see what you would do in a 24.
Well done and enjoy your break.
145km yesterday. We did the Tour of Britain stage 5 (from Stoke) 'pro' tour ride - for charity. It was very well organised, including drink and food stops and mechanic support. I think we did it in about 5 hours 20 (not including time stopped while drinking, eating, going to the loo etc).
I was King of Gun Hill (among our 5-man team), but paid for it at the end as I was dropped by my team-mates for the sprint finish.
A very enjoyable day. I'll put some pictures and stuff on my blog later today - I was too tired yesterday.
Excellent result Ady - well done!
onthe subject of bikes, does anyone know of any sites giving details of good trail/bridleways for bikes in lakes or Yorshire?
go play on the m 6, now, how does that sound
40 miles road, "undulating" 2.5 hours.
Home, Skipton, Gargrave, Thorton, Elsack, Colne, Oakworth, home
got a pinch puncture towards the end of the ride and carried bike home last mile.
A pinch puncture on a road bike - wtf?
You need a bike maintenance course!
It was due to riding in the dark without lights, I hit a metal thingy in the road I did not see. I would have been home in the light had I not ridden so slowly with you for a mile or so.
You didn't see the roadOr the metal thingy??????
If you didn't see the metal thingy, how do you know it was a thingy made of metal
Should have gone to Specsavers
Hills and Guinness!
One of the nicest bike rides I have had the pleasure of doing this morning. Met at 8.30 at Tollos and about 20 riders set off on some fantastic back roads eventually stopping in Sinue for a coffee. 5 of us opted for a longer ride and ended up climbing up to lluc from Campernet. A fantastic 12K climb under sunny skies with views that are hard to describe in words. Another Coca Cola & coffee stop at the garage whilst we re grouped (I got dropped by an ex Welsh international rider, middle name is Jeramhia so Hanneke will have seen his name in the results no doubt, rides for Team Jiff in Cardiff). A good old descent down to the coast and a spot of lunch and a beer followed by a couple of hours laid out on the beach (got bored of that now hence Interweb cafe). For me that was a day that dreams are made of, think I´ll have another one tommorow
