Don’t think much of your apex haunch, Andy, but then I guess it is agricultural spec 😉

Good, I’m glad you’re putting on extra purlins if you’ve got solar cells. Even in 15’ bays, timber purlins are always shite. Insulated panels are a fair bit more tolerant to deflection than fibre-cement sheets. 👍

You two get a room! By the sounds of it one with building materials lying around 😁
Watched the video, really strikes a parallel regarding efforts and recovery. Excellent subject and the rider was spot on
Happiness related to performance or lack of performance is where I'm at. I enjoy racing, but realise winning especially in the likes of ZRL isn't going to happen and top 50% is really good-for me.

I think that's the most fun part of all (for me).
Being able to hold your own against teams of younger guys who seem to have been custom-bred for ZRL (and still kick their arses up any hill longer than about 3-4 minutes
)

All the signs that I can keep up my performance is motivating and all the signs that I'm improving my performance is enormously satisfying for me these days. I can imagine that satisfying goes to different level when you racing with younger riders and you kick their butt or how was that saying....wear the trousers or something like that.

As long as the trousers have lycra and enhance your aerodynamic performance
...and they are tight enough from the right places

After seeing photos about that "construction yard" I would say room is humble way to build a description what that room is. I still believe that someday when it's finished there is full size velodrome or BMX track, that room is clearly a hall

I belatedly dipped my toe into Tiny Racing last night. My goodness, what a painful experience! Mech Isle Loop, which is a course that would probably suit me in multi-lap B races, was absolutely brutal up the climb, and I came 43rd/45 in that one, but for the first, third and last stage I placed in the twenties which is okay. My 219 points in the last event is the best race ranking I’ve ever scored in Zwift, which shows the effect of ‘racing up’, and I got a darned good workout, too!

I've always liked shorter sprinty races. The Tiny races are great. Carl and myself have been enjoying them, Bob's done a few as well. Actually I'm pretty sure I saw Steen there last week as well. Great VO2 workout, but also great for ZP ranking because they are well populated by highly-ranked riders. I've only done them all twice though. Four is a bit much, but doable.

Whoops, I appear to have celebrated dipping below 73kg for the first time in ages by drinking a bottle of Chenin Blanc. Hic!
@Norry1 I just read that Prof Louis Passfield has died - I think you mentioned on your blog that you were in contact with him just a few days ago? Very sad news
If it's the same chap, he posted a training session on YouTube 3 days ago
