[Stagger]

Just done 15.75m (25.3k) time trial with 1315ft (400m) ascent over 7.5mile

57.54 mins owt under the hour is a fair effort, so I pleased with it.

Aviemore, riding for 6.5hrs. No idea how far or how high.

Got sun burnt. Miles = smiles.

Last night saw the first round of this year's Lakeland Lanequest series, sponsored by Wheelbase. Two hours of grunting and grinning on a beautiful summer's evening in the quiet lanes around Endmoor. Looking forward to next week's event from the Redwell in the Lune Valley .... not missed a round in the last 7 years.

Well after entering Vince's Duathlon (Helwith Bridge) I did my 16m (1325' ascent) time trial in just sub 1hr then jumped off, shoes & helmet off, trainers on and did a 2m (300' ascent) hilly road run.
Its a tough on the old legs the start of the run.
Need to build up steady,but I've 4 months so nice and steady in with the fell training and racing.
Life's GOOD at the minute.

Just shy of 70 miles in Norfolk with my brother today.

Apparently we did some hill repeats. Can't for the life of me remember that bit.

Quite a bit of today was in the Fens, actually harder than you might think. No shelter from the wind, and the only respite from pedalling comes from the downhills, when I say hill I mean the slight incline you get on bridges. It's like being on a turbo trainer.

Cracking afternoon with sunny spells and a light breeze.
