Perhaps most reading this won't know about average cycling speed but at 24.9mph I am very happy as this was the first race i'd done this season.

And tomorrow I'm working in Glenridding all day so it would be rude not to pop along a ridge or two. I'm thinking Patterdale -St Sunday- fairfield- dollywagon- helvelyn.

Good effort on the bike, I have a hilly 10 mile TT next Tuesday evening but will be on turbo Friday to try and loosen my legs up.
If you are running over that way you could do the Grisedale route, there is a map posted under the Grisedale thread. Enjoy.
Are you coming to the Dales to do Bucken next Sat - it's a classic?

Legs suddendly decided they needed a rest after the weekend so had tuesday and wednesday off but ran 5 miles or so (forgot the garmin!!) last night before the clubs race.

Legs ok today - shins a bit sore - I blame the tarmac:mad:

I know about cycling average speeds and almost 25mph over 10 miles is rocket power cycling. Great effort

yep best athlete , 25mph is moving alright
what bike do you ride

a bianchi by any chance

Couple of hours on the Pinarello. Heaven. Certainly nowhere near 25mph average, lots of hills:eek: Mind you, well over 25mph top speed down major hill on the way home. Don't think the car driver was too impressed as I zipped past him:D :D

about 10 miles on my bianchi
i was marco pantani all over again

then 11 miles in my new nike pegasus
seem a decent shoe, never tried them before

Got my long run in. 3 hours over some fantastic hills. Warm, sunny conditions and remarkably wind free. Even on top of Helvelyn there wasnt a breath of wind - how often can you run over such high peaks with your top off and not feel even slightly cold, even in the shadows? (girls probably never) Visibility not so good though - very hazy.

Bad news though - Ive lost my Garmin! I'm sure i put it in my bag this morning inside my sunglasses case but now i cant find the case, or my map which was with it. Im hoping i left them both somewhere in my house or garden but have looked quite thoroughly and am resigned to the fact that I may have had them robbed from my bag where i was working today.

5 x 1 mile hard today off two minutes jog recovery. Followed by 5 x 30 seconds hard.
