Oh and a little 30 miler today o'er hill and dale at about 16 ave, I could even bit fit by August, well ish....
A shorter than planned club ride today due to a crash that brought 3 people down with one guy being kept in hospital with 3 broken ribs near his spleen! Also had to carry a bent bike 3 miles whilst pedalling my own - not to be recommended. Apart from that not a bad ride with an Hanneke lookalike joining us after recently moving to the area from Sussex - she was bloody handy as well! Roll on summer.
Just back off hols, 25 mile 2200' ascent and averaged 14.3 mph.
HR was 154 bpm average with a max of 180.
Legs are feeling it now but it was a nice effort and I'm pleased with mi sen.
That sounded nasty day
Did 40miles at 20mph yesterday
Hope your bike didn't get damaged mate
Euro Masters Track Champs out of the way... bloody hell, I enter the sprint for a bit of fun, because, you know, Hoy, Pendleton, you have to have done it once... And I end up in the bliddy ride off for the bronze, me, an endurance person with no kick because of total lack of fasttwitch muscles :w00t: SHOCKING! And almost had her too... lost my focus in the end on the last ride grrrr and I had such a brilliant plan! Just one ride too many, it is hard to build up, race, cool down, build up, race, cool down the WHOLE day for all the different heats... I was supposed to have been knocked out of the competition in the first heat, i.e. after two sprints... I tell you, it f*cked up my pursuit the next day
So out for a 4 hour ride in the small ring today, knackered as I was from all that short stuff on the track for 5 days... but, need to convert myself to an endurance tester again in the course of this week, as my first ever 100 m TT awaits on Sunday
I am going to have to work out what it is I want to focus on on the bike next season, as doing everything isn't very compatible LOL! If I had trained a bit for those track champs, I'd have had 3 medals I reckon, rather than 2x 4th, 1x 5th and 1x 6th... F*cked up my starts out of the gate as well, due to lack of experience, so a LOT of improvement to be had I reckon and I did actually really like it... I wonder if I can develop some accelleration power... *ponders*
I managed to keep upright, the carnage was behind!
Daz, dya fancy posting a pici of your bike? I rather like looking at it(the Rourke - if thats how you spell it)
I will take a picture on my I phone and try and put it on this new tangled I pad thingy I've been given. Just trying to get used to it. My laptop has ground to a halt so it might take a day or so.Daz, dya fancy posting a pici of your bike? I rather like looking at it
Yes source is the correct spelling. Brian source cycles have a website
Work and back to new building is just shy of 36 mile round trip.
Aiming for twice this week and 3 times next.
Today felt good only steady going and a bit more effort comming home
Run tomorrow and cycle Thursday is the plan.
I may get a bit fitter one day:w00t:
