Quick 90 min or so post work blast through the forest singletrack patch this evening.
Good fun.

Took a friend over Gospel Pass yesterday. He had never ridden a proper mountain pass, nor climbed that much in his life. He was elated about the whole thing, very satisfying, even though I am still pathetically slow and weak

Short 30 miles on the bike, then the gym.
Spot of gardening, some bikes on't telly and various other lazy Sunday activities inbound.
Quite looking forward to a trip out to Aviemore next Friday for a day in the hills with the MTB.
Time for a cuppa tea...

42 mile 3600ft climb.
22 mile of it on Le Tour route. Picked it up at Oxenhope then went up over Cock hill down to Hebden, then up Cragg down to Rippenden up the bank, down to West vale the peeled off and headed home knackered.
Stage 2 will be a tough little stage and I don't see the sprinters having a good day but a good punchy rider will be in his element.
25m/2200' starting from Storiths, got as far up as Conistone. Glad i went out today not yesterday, weather was a good deal brighter but there was quite a lot of crap washed onto the roads. Pint of Thwaites at Linton.

Just under 100 miles, about 8000 feet of climbing, largely off road, first gravel race in this country, self navigated. Took me 9.45 which seemed slow and long, as still recovering from Lyme disease. However, it was enough for a top 20 and first female :-o
