I just got back from a flat out 10 miler out into longridge n back(rough twisty road) wind out was mostly at 2-3 o'clock so about 8-9 on the way back just manged to clock over 32 on the way back averaged about 15 on the way out

Did London Duathlon in Richmond Park yesterday:

10k run - 42
22k ride - 44
5k run - 22

Plus transition faff - overall time 1.51.

Good consistent times on your runs Zoot
You should try an off road one sometime

Yes would love to, except not much of a mountain biker, would love an off-road run + road cycle combo ...

Was bloody windy in Richmond park on Sunday too - made the ride v taxing. Felt like I could've done better - staying up til 2am on saturday morning drinking probably didn't help too much.

2 of my friends were cycling the Dales Way at the weekend and I did a part of it from Redmire to Hawes (and back to Redmire). They carried on riding to Clapham but hit a storm. The weather was atrocious and as they were heading up a 1in4 they came across a bunch of cyclists who'd been doing LEJOG. One of their party had just overshot a corner and hit a wall...she died minutes later from head injuries. It has really shaken us all up.

Tragic news Hes. Next door neighbour's cousin died the other day whilst out on her bike. Take care out there folks.

Oh I read about that, tragic!

Far too many cyclists killed this year, all accross the board, from commuters and leisure cyclists, through to the pro's It hasn't been a good year

Thats tragic news. The weather has been unreal these last few days.
Be careful everyone out there.
I was going to do 50miles last night but the wind was still severe. So just found a quiet hill and did 20 reps
