morning commute 14km. But it was after 1mile swim. Easy jog tonight.
Settled into my daily CX commute via canal towpath and getting the bug back. Daily lunchtime runs thrown in from next week and nasty thoughts of entering the 3PCX again this year :p
Good news Ady, 3PCX again for me hopefully after missing it last year, in fact missed just about everything last year, best not talk about it again!Quote:

Just done 25miles with my lad josh. Loads of climbs and we decided to have a little 5 lap criterium race at the finish which has a severe climb in in. 4 th time round he asked me for water and then had the cheek to blast up the hill on my rourke to take the race.
Fantastic, it doesnt get better than that. Mind im not sure about his unshaven legs in bibshorts.
Al have you looked up le metier yet, lol
First ride out on the cube. 12.5 hilly miles around the Holme valley - 45 minutes. Took it nice and steady to ease myself in, well apart from the descent into Jackson bridge! Not got anymore figures as i ain't got round to setting up the polar computer yet. Felt really good to be out on a road bike again, really enjoyed myself. Really happy with the bike, just need a few changes in it's set up and then it'll be perfect. Considering a Reutal bike fit. Anyone else gone down this route when setting up a bike?
52 miles over the Brynna and Bwlch climbs then nailed it back along the valley in a brisk 3hrs and a bit so back in time to see a monster finish from Gilbert in Amstel Gold:thumbup:
Reckon I deserve a beer before bed!
Only 52 miles??? Pah. Just a glass of water and a crust for you, young man!
Went out for an hour, did 25 miles... Now I am knackered ;)
Well done TofferQuote:

Didnt see Hann roaring him on in the crowd though Toffer on eurosport ? . Did you.
What happened to the Rabobank boys Hann ?
I don't know Daz, I had my head down on a dragstrip somewhere in South Wales, in an attempt to ride a 25 under the hour... failed by a narrow margin... but pleased with the ride, especially as, a day later, my niggly knee seems to have settled again so I reckon I got away with it, even though it was screaming at me yesterday :)
