Not feeling myself this week, messed up at work with a change of times and now a sore throat.

Did manage a 30 min session on the turbo this morning.

I have just entered my son and I into next years Cyclist Fighting cancer sportive, it will be his first so we have gone for the shorter 30 mile ride.

Well done. It's always nice to have something to motivate you.

Was really chilly here this morning so decided to go for a run.......well a slow jog really! Just stuck the phone in my pocket so wasn't really sure how far I had gone so was pleasantly surprised when I got home to find I had gone 7.4 miles. It certainly kept me a lot warmer than I would have been cycling. Only snag seems to be a bit of irritation over the clavicle with rubbing.

Cheers Mo. I'm also down for the Shakespeare100 in April with Sue who is on the trainer every day at the moment.

Went out, intending it to be a ride in low HR zones
I had to be at Chertsey by a certain time, and realised I was way out of schedule, so really got a move on, and likewise back from Chertsey after quckly
25.54 miles @ 16.0 mph with 636 feet of climbing, not a bad speed considering first 8-9 miles were taking it easier

Was quite chilly, maybe just a little more clothing was needed
Also wind was quite noticeable

That is at least 7.4 miles further than I can run

You have it on Strava that it was an hour - I sniggered at your pitiful speed, but now stand ashamed of my behaviour

 

[BrianEvesham]

See I'm that ilI can't load the ride properly.
But thanks for the honesty.

In fairness, I looked at it and thought you must have just input something wrong, either that or you followed me this morning

 

[BrianEvesham]

Had to delete and reload.

Right off to work then

So this morning i decided to go out and try another local club most enjoyable there were also a couple of ex pro racers in the club avg age 70+ it was a bit disheartening when they leave you standing at the bottom

But when we eventually got to the top we all laughed as they waited

I know how it feels. Just took the hybrid for a wee tootle before the light goes as tomorrow looks horrible. I heard a swooshing noise and a guy whizzed effortlessly past and left me trailing in a matter of seconds. He was tall and very skinny. Couldn't get a look at the bike as he went by so quickly. Did stick his hand out and give me a wave though. Lol

Tell ya what Mo it was a bit of an eye opener, And i have had that myself they go past you like you are standing still.
Anyway i am happy with my overall ride decent pace and definatly felt like have had a work out now i just have to stop myself eating everything whats in the cupboard & wait for dinner....

 

[stevey]

Oh and the bacon and sos sandwich was most welcome....

I spent all day setting up the man cave for when I decide which turbo trainer to buy. A 120" projected image should keep me entertained.

I also swapped my office desk chair for a gym ball. Seems my core strength is better now than the last time I tried this. bouncy bouncy

 

[Effyb4]

I'm going on a moonlight ride this evening with the club. We hope to see some fireworks. It will be at a nice leisurely pace if I'm going.

Enjoy.....I think I'll just enjoy them from indoors. I can see most of the local display from my window.
