Fell off today!



Thankfully arm took most of the impact as the bike slid underneath me. Ruined my 2nd best winter jersey though. Most importantly bike ok.

Bloody wet roads!!!

Oooh, you've got a graze. Neat TCP will sort that

I could tell you an horrific tale of what you are suffering with your undercarriage. Extreme hygiene/cleanliness is the order of the day

Spoiler: Dont open if squeamish

Wife's work colleague got a boil on his arse, which developed into necrotizing fasciitis, lucky to be alive, massive section of his buttock and associated region removed to save his life

Fortunately my barse seems to be on the mend - the wound has scabbed over, at least - and I don’t think there’s any danger of losing a butttock. Maybe I’ll go for a tentative ride with the kids later, to try to blow the cobwebs away a bit…

What a lovely day for outside riding! Shame I am doing housework, buying school shoes and then cooking for my mother.

Next week looks good though. Love this time of year as the weather picks up.

Grim here in Staffs… I’m mixing concrete for bedding lawn edging stones. Tried a gentle workout last night (one of the Baby On Board pregnancy workouts) and it wasn’t too bad while I was riding, but I was quite coughy through the night…

I'm getting good at these Viking jobbies

Off to Scandinavia to receive my ceremonial

Had a good week, new sprint PB, got a a couple podiums. Over 150 miles knocked off

Not great down here in SW ... was nice yesterday. But as you say, rest of the week looks good so should be getting out there for a few more rides for sure.

4 laps of Tewit Well. 1hr 20 at 90% intensity. Must be mad. There's only 2 more of the Chasing Classics left, but not sure I'll finish them as it's DRS starting on Tuesday.
I had enough left to attack the final climb. Well I knew it was my only chance to shake off the two I was with. Worked a treat. Gained 12s on them by emptying the tank.

Not the best power numbers....but was a fun race. The pack slowly slowly whittling the field down each lap

Yes. DRS starts in a couple of hours. (Very stoked for that. 16 laps of Downtown Dolphin.)
My max is 197 although I don't very often see it much above 190.

One of my favourite courses ... love the crits .. constant, full on fun. Good luck.

Hoping my bike gets properly sorted tomorrow as I definitely can't race at the moment - even spinning yesterday with a pace bot, 250-300 watts was causing a slip.

It was a bit mental. I held on until the FTS segment on lap 15 then didn't quite get back on for the final lap...

Team did OK, but probably not quite as well as their numbers would suggest. But I expect some of the other teams' numbers might change after this race. I did about 227W for 20 minutes which is 3.4 in "old money". But more relevant was 96% intensity for 43 minutes. A hard effort.

Used my weights today, much more enthusiastic when background music pumping out.

Dom's tomorrow
