Me too, although I think it was meant to say appreciate!

30 minutes of going round and round would probably do me! Especially if it was balls out the whole time!

My days of being a nutter are over. (having just done La Riba). Well those days are over at least until tomorrow.
Bill, have you seen that you're second in the UK Male Vet 2 Rankings for Ascent, with 23.6 (vertical) miles this season. Another 5 miles and you'll be 1st.
Go Bill ....

I wasn't paying too much attention to that Geoff, but up hill is my thing at the moment. I get my ass handed to me on the flatter courses.
However, last month I did most vertical miles in the world in all classes. That wasn't my aim though. I was just training for my 24 hour mtb race in January. To keep the training going I really need to do an Alpe d'Huez or equivalent every day.

Or in my case, because my wife would NEVER have signed off on one costing £1k+!

Must be making you super fit though Bill? Going to end up with quads like Chris Hoy! I can't get anywhere near your average power on those rides......yet!

And 24 hour mtb event?!? That must be insanely difficult! I am gearing up for an Iron Man event, but even that pales into mediocrity compared to that!
I think it's made me quite fit but don't seem to be progressing fitness wise at the moment. My legs have become weirdly solid and hard but I'll find out soon enough if its done any good. What the Bkool's done for me since I bought it in October is to let me do the 80 miles up steep hills instead of the usual 80 miles on he flat I was doing. Also I think it's more fun, at least for the moment.
"yet!". I like that. You will soon enough I'm sure.

Mine will have to be 2016. My wife is signed up for the Cotswold Iron Man next summer, and the gruelling training schedule is so time consuming, it would be logistically impossible for us both to train simultaneously for it. Unless we were to put our children into care..... or kennels..... but she won't go for either of those.
So I am happy to support her effort this year, and swap roles the year after. I will do half a dozen or so Tri's this year probably, which are, obviously a lot less demanding. And the BKool will become my new best friend, whilst my wife is out crunching hard, cold miles, I will park next to the fridge, swing the TV out, and pedal, maniacally away, chasing your on screen ghost Bill, until I can catch you!
