Thanks Norry1 , I barely drink alcohol but I am easily led into temptation when it comes to Kebabs, fish and chips, hot doughnuts,chocolate, bags of crisps, cooked breaksfasts. Unfortunately so is my missus so in that way we are very bad for each other only takes one of us to say I fancy ...... I put on weight quick as lightning takes me for ever to get it off.
I hope to retire in April so plan to sort my life out better fitness and training wise.

I'm similar. Don't drink much these days, maybe once a few months I go out with mates for a drink but never drink alone. My bad habit is cake, usually with a coffee with too many calories :cry:

Did a community ride today, let the pack go as didn't fancy increasing my ZRS score ... I mean, they were too strong for me and I couldn't hang on :biggrin:

Gave me the opportunity anyway to cruise with a little group where a couple of guys were going for the sprints. I couldn't resist and joined in - hit a peak of 997 watts. Didn't realise I was hitting such big numbers again, but well chuffed :wahhey:

Well done. I did 2hr easier pacer group ride with D-Miquel. But I couldn't help myself (little bit like Pogi) I did few sprints (>900w peak) to keep sessions interesting level bit higher.

Agreed - if the pace is easy enough to recover, it's a good session. I was surprised I hit those numbers today, will definitely see if I can get above 1000 next time :training:

Had a crap workout today, just couldn't hold the bigger numbers even before halfway. Jack'd it in.

All I can say, I had a ride today 😕

Must be the weather. I started a 10-lap Crit City race in 520-690 ZRS. Got dropped after 2 laps and thought "yaknow what? I can't be bothered to finish this." :laugh: So I did some free riding instead. I don't bog out of races very often. I think that was maybe the third time ever.

used my free distance earlier and i can see me resubbing soon as currently i am only getting a non commute ride in every couple of weeks due to working every sunday whilst they want us .
I Have considered cheaper apps but i think they all need a smart trainer these days ? and as i only have a dumb trainer with speed and cadence sensor it rules them out .

Hi Michael Tenerife bike tours have a new hotel base on Tenerife, it's at golf du sur. Here is their first day route to vilaflor from an old friend who regularly rides with them as a ride helper. If they are doing this route, it will be good 👍

Why not use the money on a smart trainer? A low end one such as the Pinnacle HC can be had for £210 at Evans. Add a Cheap cassette and you are ready to go.

I had my flu and covid jabs Friday. Boys drinks in the smoke yesterday. Got back last night and crashed - whole body muscle pains for about 4 hours from 11 til 3 in the morning. Reaction to the covid jab I gather - feel ok now but blinkin 'eck, felt awful whilst it lasted.

Rested today just in case. Gym planned first thing tomorrow, then trip to see my gf in Brum. Hoping to get back Tuesday for the Cyclopathy ride.
