Did Wheelers Turbo session last night. I sweated like a pig! It was really hard work, but nice to have somebody else structuring the workout.

I used hubby's turbo as it's got a resistance adjuster, although I'm sure I didn't use it quite as efficiently as I should have. Friendly lot and I got help and guidance in how to get the most out of it, but I need to take two towels and two bottles if I go again, there were so many drips on the floor, it was quite embarrassing!

Ho

Hope doggy is soon well. Doggy hug from Olly too

Awww, poor girl. Give her a doggy hug from Millie.

Well I managed to brave the cold for 30 miles today. Longest for a few weeks. Fingers were ok but toes got a bit cold and numb.....hardly surprising considering I was cycling in trainers with quite a bit of mesh in them Thought I better try and do a reasonable mileage as there is quite strong wind and rain forecast tomorrow so probably won't be out.

Thanks folks. I'm pleased to report Farley is lots better. She has started eating again and is loads more steady on her pins. Phew!

Great to hear. They are a worry when they get older and start having health problems. Eating is always a good sign

Well, it rained during the night here and the roads were filthy so just took the old MTB for a short 14 mile loop. With the weight of it, I think I get as good a workout as doing at least 20 on the roadie

Glad the dog is okay.

When you get back on the roadie, you can only count 10 miles for every 20 you ride

Decide to have a quick dinner time ride as I have done very little mileage this week. Boy is it windy!

Guilty as charged, but I did need to do the extra miles so I can hit 14,000 on the ride home tonight

 

[Stonechat]

Well went out and did my figure of 8 in Windsor Great Park, still felt good so did the top part of the loop again, after that still plenty of energy so went down Egham Hill and up again. Have I gone mad?

Even when Home I feel I could've done more!

27.1 miles @ 12.5 mph

There was a lot of crud on the park roads so went a little cautiously so speed was not great. Also much caution when passing dog walkers etc
I am deffo fitter than I was
Woohoo feel good except should've done more
Was good for another 10 miles

Its great to see your progress @Stonechat & some good elevation there too so very well done.

I'm slightly jealous as I've just had 2 teeth out (ouch!) & have a bad back at the moment so wont be cycling any time soon. Keep up the good work all & put some miles in for me!

@Goonerobes keep chin and spirits up you'll soon be on two wheels again

Also on today's run uploaded gpx file into the gps and used that - mostly just as a router reminder at the further end of the park that I am unfamiliar with
It works OK
Apparently if I create a gpx file using gpsies, then I can put on reminders or instructions that flash up on the screen
