At least I have something to work on... deflection point at a HR of 156 bpm pushing 200 watts :o
Mind, at least coach had guessed my training zones right... so we just continued the way we were and I now know when I am actually working hard enough or not as there had been some doubt about that...
Hann dont worry about the wattage as that will go up fairly quickly.Quote:

I went straight to the cafe to avoid having my legs shredded and tired for the 1/2 tour. After a brief lunch I took a full carbon stead for a test ride with SRAM red and SRAM 60 wheels, around 3.5K's worth of kit - it was OK but nothing special. I came home through the Trough of Bowland which looked fantastically clear and bright today. Good moderate ride of around 70 miles.
well done adyQuote:

Not really. Planet-X not sure when the ti pro race frames will be in stock either. I like the SRAM red groupset though and the SRAM S60 wheels - just what to stick them on.....................Quote:

Waiting for a quote off Fat Birds Don't Fly for a Van Nicholas Astraeus with SRAM red. Much more sensibly priced than the Van Nicholas website although it aint gonna be cheap :eek:
Ohhhhhhh, I LOVE those Van Nicholas bikes...Quote:

I have the race won... you can get it with Sram red, no problems... It was recently reviewed in Cycling weekly even :)
And he is working on a cross bike for me now :):):)
Looking forward to three hours on the track later :)
Oh wow! The MTB is very nice.Quote:

Thanks for that Hann - I have spoken with a guy there and he is going to get back to me with a price. The S40 wheelset looks well with the frame, what wheels are on yours?
just waiting for my cannondale super six with ultegra 6700 etc from Wheelbase and then i will overtake the lot of you
(going down the Blych y groes with a force 10 tailwind)
Did you speak to Marcus Eales? If not, ask for him and tell him I sent you... it will help :)Quote:

Oh and I don't have the integrated seatpost, as the UCI is throwing a wobbly over those, so you probably can't race a bike with an integrated seatpost...:eek: Stupid UCI grrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Have you followed what they are doing with TT bikes at the moment?
You will easily overtake me going either up or down the Bwlch-y-Groes... It was the hardest climb and scariest descent ever for me! Up via Bala, down the other side... some hairy hairpins that almost had me down the side of the mountain :eek::eek:Quote:

Cool, I have a semi-integrated seatpost... It is a lovely bike!Quote:

30m today which followed a hill rep session with the juniors this morning.
Legs very tender and it feels great:)

Ady dont forget Paris-Nice starts today , think 2.00pm today on SKY
The race to the sun:)
35 minute spin on the turbo this morning, to loosen up the legs before a 12 hour working day... and after sitting in the van for 15 hours yesterady... That after a hard 3 hour track session on Friday was a bit much :eek:
One hour steady on the road before another 12 hour day tomorrow... Dry and cold but sunny here in Holland...
Looking forward to three hours on Tuesday :)
at least its flat Hann;)Quote:
