Still missing the bloody running though Daz - not long now I hope
I believe one of the cyclists was going for a 16 mile run when he got back today - lucky git!!

How far at what pace???

That's it, I quit! Bike's are all going on ebay!

[Hanneke]

Mine most certainly aren't... After a weekend of brilliant racing, I am hooked... not sure what to do about that bl**dy Everest Marathon that I should have started training for already... Can't combine the two, it is just too much!

quick little 15 mile hilly route around Skenfrith. 1 hour, 1500 feet climb, 14 mph average. 5% ave/21% max climbs. Hard work but pleased to be able to grunt it out after yesterdays work out.
Whoever invented the 'love channel' needs a bloody medal! My perineum is quite happy!

12.5 mile with eldest son just an hour with 1500' climb.
He has a good turn of speed just not the strength to keep it going, but that will come.

Just a 35 mile trundle this afternoon to recce the southernmost point of Wales and the easiest route home. Sorted

Hann,

The bikes will wait, Everest Marathon is this year. A month treking, the monastery, Base Camp, the race, the take-off from Lukla (spelled wrong), D&V, altitude headaches and leeches; all marvellous. Almost the ultimate fell race and this is a Fell Forum after all so go on get running.

Big hugs

Thank you Lola xx

I am checking myself for ticks at the moment...

Which must mean I have been out for a run through fields and onto a hill It was great and it wasn't as bad as the last couple of times I tried... so another one is on the schedule for Wednesday morning!

Interestingly, after some tea and a few slices of toasted fruit loaf, I am off on a little trundle on my x-bike. New territory for me too. Am going to attempt to ride up onto Hatterall Ridge from Trewyn, then down behind my house... may need to walk a bit...
No idea if it is viable on a cross bike. It is on a MTB though...
