Sprained my ankle badly whilst recceing Duddon Race route on Saturday so no running for a while. Bike is fine though so i will be getting out a bit more and trying to put some distance in. Did 35m today from Kendal out towards Kirkby Lonsdale and up to Killington with 850m climbing. Enjoyed it.
I did about 850 metres of climbing too tonight! Wizzed up onto Hatterall Ridge, whoop inducing descent off it again, then rode back up in the other direction, for another descent on the other side... Lovely couple of hours, cool evening sunshine, LOADS of mud

Just a quick heads-up for anyone in N. Lancs / S. Cumbria or W. North Yorks; next Tuesday evening is the first round of this year's S Lakes Lanequest events. Details at www.wheelbase.co.uk
You'll need to join BMBO for insurance ( free on line ). Helmet, multi-tool, puncture repair kit, small first aid kit are compulsory ( you have to be self sufficient, a la audax ).
Totally addictive once you've done an event.
I was a bit of an oddball until I was abducted by aliens; but I'm perfectly OK now!
Glad I made the effort tonight. Torrential rain as I was leaving the house to meet my mate, but it soon dried up and the sun even came out over the Lyth Valley. Kendal - Crook- Bowness - Lyth Valley - Brigsteer. 27 mile and according to my Garmin 2500 calories!!!! Can't believe that but i did have my HR monitor on. Probably just eaten it all back on anyway:wink:
Not today, today is a rest day
But yesterdays ride: 101 kms around Ashton Court MTB trails in Bristol, racing Bristol Bikefest 12 hour mixed pairsWe ended up on the podium in 3rd place
Great athmosphere, even the sun came out for the day, perfect conditions!

28k on tired legs this morning. Yesterdays Bofra event was only short so I went for another run when I got home.
This morning it was like having two blocks of lead strapped to my backside.
I need to work harder and get used to this pain of training again.
11 mile lunch time TT on the fixie today...67 inch gear.
Great ride (28k 400m ascent) home at 5.45pm.
Tail wind and very quiet roads due to some over paid numpties on the box.
Wish I could ride at this pace regular. Just over 65mins, one of my best ever rides.
Pleased now. :-)
