Now comes the hard bit - staying fit until August.
I'm tapering.

Feel pretty run down today. The bikes are staying in the shed!
Yes - I'm wrestling with this but don't really have a masterplan! It's almost a month now since I did Bryan Chapman and last night I booked myself up for a mixture of audaxes and time trials. I'm toying with the idea of doing another 600...
PS - well done Andrew
Exactly the same with me. Must get into it again soon, and do at least something this coming weekend. I'm putting on weight, finding excuses not to exercise.
Toyed with 600 like Invicta, toyed with a 300+200 perms also, but have lack of motivation. What is likely to happen is a GPS DIY London to Brighton turned into a 300 on Saturday. Spinning twice a week and TT every other week.
See you at the track on Wednesday?
went to see my most local club (tri-club) on saturday, went for a ride with them, chatted about joining, about their training etc. all excellent stuff, but i'm not overly interested in triathlons (yet). they suggested that joining cycling club might better suit my needs at the moment.
so tomorrow if i manage to finish work on time i'll try to join tuesday evening chaingang with dulwich paragon. it starts about 9 miles from my home, not close, but not too far either. claimed average speeds are 22-23mph so it will be hard work keeping up with them.

bloody heck that was intense! only three "slower"guys showed up as the fast boys were on a local race. so after initial instructions and a remark that i should have a bigger chainring we set off. constantly rotating we were going at a decent pace (i was going flat out). only got dropped twice near the end on the flat bit and on the last hill. limped back home barely turning my legs. now stuffing my face with whatever is in the fridge.
i think i'll be doing these chaingangs once a week - although painful, but they should make me quicker for pbp.
Yes, I was worried that you might not have a high enough gear!
You'll find it easier the next time...
well i didn't spin out, the top gear was high enough (just), but i was getting too tired to keep up at the end. my bike with unessential bits (mudguards, brooks saddle, heavy lights, seatbag) didn't help either as they were on lean lightweight race bikes.
