Keep going and let us know how u get on
Nice one. Thankyou for sharing the health and injury issue. It gives me a bigger picture of what you have had to battle with.
Well done on the racesQuote:

last night had a sore throat on the right hand side - so had a look in the mirror to see white coated tonsil - been to docs this morning - see if penicillin will work in 2 days - don't want to get really ill - might have to commit to my sponsors to ride the route on a different day - a*se ar*e ar*e
dont worry. sportifes are always there to be conquered, hope you recover quick ratfinkQuote:

Oh, Ratfink, I hope you get better and well enough for Sunday :(
Raced again tonight, knackered now... easy ride tomorrow before work...
Satmap Active 10 bike.
Just bought it from Amazon.
Costs a fortune. I waited long but now is coming ...
With Le Tour fever I got my Ribble out just now.
I decided on my local 12 mille route through the country lanes and through a couple of small villages/hamlets before hitting a few big A roads and finising the Lolly-pop shaped loop back into my village.
Theres a few sharp climbs to trash my quads (but nothing major climbing wise for all you seasoned roadies - 645 feet total) with a head-wind on every bloody stretch of road.
I was banking on being able to belt it down some of the fast down hills but the wind was horrendous.
12 miles - 38:30mins, Ave 18.9mph.
Knocked 3 minutes off my previous best for the route even against the head winds. Quads are destroyed now.
Pretty rubbish really but I gave it my all....and I even got a smile and a hello from 3 hot girls out on their horses whilst I was climbing the first hill ;)
Al - it won't take you long to realise it's always bloody windy on the bike, especially round here, don't worry I'll take you out for a draft!! x

no biking all weekend :(
Blimey - Todays Bike ride on page 3 - are we all watching le tour?!
45 miles for me ce soir.
Heading out through the villages of woodplumpton, Inskip, Elswick then picking up the not so pleasant A6 to Fleetwood although did a bit of a detour and headed through Poulton le Fylde and onward to the prom at Blackpool joining it at South Shore - Bispham. Took a pic of the tower and the sea - the tide was in :eek: but don't know how to take it off the iphone.:o Nice bracing headwind for what seemed a flippin age :rolleyes: and given the time of year (and night) Blackpool wasn't half busy, loads of regeneration work going on they must have spent a fortune, looks a lot better than it did and those donuts always smell better than they look - no I didn't buy any!!
Back through St Annes and Lytham, Warton etc....had to race the sunset as my back light came off somewhere on route - only noticed when I went to switch it on :mad:
Ave 18mph for me, err forgot to stop the watch when I had a quick break for the photo opportunity and IT WAS WINDY - again!!
sounds like a good ride out.Quote:

Very odd stage on the tour today. Chavanel winning on a Mercyx bike in Belgium. With Eddy at the finish.
How cool is that.
Ho HoQuote:

Good to see some of you are out putting the miles in! I have a 10m TT tonight, so not many miles but still sore legs! Track tomorrow first thing too...
Mud, tough luck mate! :p
I guess comparing to your Derbyshire hills Darren it was flat yes, not completely pan flat but nothing to get out of the big ring for.Quote:

Legs knackered now! Another 10 pb...
And a hard track session this morning... and an almost pb on the flying 500m TT... :-O I must be doing something right?
top pic
Todays bike ride was much like yesterdays bike ride. Both with BillJ off these here forums, but without the puncture that he suffered yesterday !
Aaaargh! Overslept and missed the first set of track specific stuff on the turbo! I may get a chance to do it tonight, but doubt it... :(
Great pic indeed. No tri bars on your TT machine?
That isn't my TT machine, it is my racing bike... pic taken during last Fridays crit :)Quote:
