Today's Bike Ride

[Al Fowler]

Preston arena is a nippy little circuit - wacky races

Ive thought about popping up one day since it only many 10 miles from mine max.

Can you just turn up and go for a few laps or is it not that simple?

You need to be in the BCF and then you join the league at the Arena and then you can just turn up and pay. Not quite as simple as turn up and ride. Best to have experience of riding in groups before you hit this track as it is very tight and there are regular crashes, hence Wacky Races.

I'm back!
The Turks had to put up with me for 2 weeks and now you lot have

Just had the bike out for a steady 14 mile. Up hill into the wind was great, Down hill with a tail wind was boringly fast

I need to get fit and with a low GI plan and a lot of bike work (No ale for a month) I should be back on a reasonable track.

I'll give that a miss then.

Went running instead. 1 hour steady trail work. Felt very good considering time off for injury and lurgy! Gotta get in shape for the OMM!

And today, I saw some cyclists as I was driving to Abergavenny for some serious hill work. Thought one might have been Hanneke...wearing orange cycling jersey.
Anyway, did a couple of ascents of Sugar Loaf and it felt great. Calf injuries seem well healed and lurgy chest stayed away. Bring on Brecon Beacons!!

20 hard miles on geared crosser with mate over and around Stoodley Pike, bloody windy, bike acts like a sail on your shoulder, nearly got blown into Lancashire
Mate is now worried about 3ppp's cyclocross, no need to be, he did alreet today, especially since he bought the first round in the pub after
