Just done the Keighley Big Mountain Bike Ride - 31 miles offroad and tarmac - 2.15 hrs. Felt tired from Yorkshireman most of way round.
Tried to avoid some cobbles on a moor and dropped the wheel into what I thought was a sheep trod to get round them. Appear to have pulled something in my calf during the subsequent trip over the handle bars - Bugger.
Off to Asda to buy some peas.
quite glad I've avoided any off road riding as yet....which, let's face it, is cheating
2 weeks ago managed 42/600 at Helvellyn Triathlon with 26th fastest bike split ( on my cx bike....so much for aero tri bikes and Lakeland Passes)
56.05 for 25TT last w/end...not on the cx bike unfortunately !
just back from 23 miles off road run
no idea how i'll race next w/end though....very excited to be doing the event
I am sh*tting myself for next week...
So few women doing it as well... only 20odd out of 600 odd, which must mean something???
Anyways, apart from feeling apprehensive, at least I am not injured.... No idea of I am ready for it. I don't feel ready... My running is completely inadequate, I only started off road riding a few weeks ago and I am too weak to carry the bike for any length of time... Carrying the bike has also given me aches and pains in parts of my back I did not know existed...

Are you sure DT???You'll be fine H
Yeah, trust me, you'll do wellAre you sure DT???
Is that from your expertise in spectating, racing, or because I will have a nice bed to sleep in the night before the race?Yeah, trust me, you'll do well
Certainly not racing! PPP is hard enough without carting a pushbike round with youIs that from your expertise in spectating, racing, or because I will have a nice bed to sleep in the night before the race?
Seriously, it sounds like you done some quality training
