in my opinion,this is the best tri of all tri's for a fellrunner.
swim semer water,
on bike climb 1-4 within 100 meters,
through askrigg 1-4,1-5,1-4 down to muker,
climb buttertubs 1-4
descend past hardraw,up to garsdale head,coal road,1-4,drop past dent station,follow road under viaduct,you guessed 1-4
drop to hawes,then run pennine way to great shunner and back.
low key race like most good fell races and the atmostphere and camradie are second to none.
Went for a ride today and someone threw a can of Coke at my head, good job it was only a soft drink....
50 miles tonight. Hard wind going out .Coming back i saw an angel on the bike in front of me which made me pedal faster. I tried my best but the angel kept going faster. I buried myself mile after mile in the vain hope of catching the princess of the road. After twenty miles the gap was still 20 yards. Finally she slowed which allowed me to draw near. I could barely lift my head through the effort i had put in. As i got close she turned her head and blew me a kiss and then as though it was nothing pulled away and was gone.I was broken, a broken rider. Heartbroken, tears rolled down my face, my body was spent. I stopped cursing my luck. Who was this maiden of the road. Id never seen her before, never. Thousands of miles id travelled this road and never once come across her on the bike.How could she had ridden away like that. ?How could i have not tried harder?As i sat at the side of the road with my head in my hands with the sun shining on my bike i felt something behind me.I turned round and there she was.She said to me that i could have one wish and one wish only.I closed my eyes and made the wish. Re opened my eyes and she was gone again.I picked my bike up and carried on riding. Faster now as though i had wings. The miles flew past and before i knew it was finished. The wish had been granted.The princess of the road had granted me a lowly roadman a tailwind.Happy days. Its amazing what happens when you fall asleep in a bus shelter.Remember my fellow bikies.The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
56 minutes on the rollers again for me today. 60 mins yesterday, errr 50 odd tuesday and can't remember monday was it 70, who knows? - could do with a little black book to write it all down in I guess.
Anyone know of someone who's flogging an old set of rollers off cheap?
