Yep likewise. Just did 90 mins endurance.

I was thinking about doing the 90 mins unicorn workout, but you tempted me into a race with the 10km thrash. When I couldn't get into that I saw the 34km WBR volcano flat so jumped on that instead. Really pleased with my power, speed and progress. Of 29 ZP registered C cat riders I was 8th. The guy who came 3rd was 2 seconds ahead and beat me on the sprint. I then did the 30 mins pedaling workout as I figured I could manage that after the race. Was hard but yep, completed it all.

If legs OK will do the unicorn tomorrow.

are you building the wheels yourself ? i've always thought about it / watched youtube about it then shyed away from it

Years ago at a community college bicycle repair class the instructor said never build your own wheels. He said unless you do it often enough you'll chase yourself around trying to true them and never get them right.

Aren't you supposed to be taking it easy?

It's @Norry1 's fault .... he mentioned racing and I couldn't let it lie!

I have to stay off the bike from tomorrow until I've had some tests on Friday, so I'll be on forced rest this coming week

ill post pictures when ive fitted new tyres, also whilst in Tenerife.

Should look good with sun, view and bling bits

Is the knee settling?

Spoilsport! A view you say? You realise you will have to cycle UP a gradient to get a view

Not yet. But I have some really powerful painkillers that work just great

My wheel builder says its quite therapeutic, but it needs time to develop the technique for building.

I quite liked Codeine

for my shattered heel


The view is not so bad to get to ave 6% for 2hours

I have quite a supply if you want some?

The pain will go. Not looking forward to 6 weeks in this knee brace

I was going to buy some Hunt 50’s but will most likely get some well regarded Chinese or Taiwanese wheels

I am being a good boy and only taking 1/2 the recommended daily dose but come night time I take just enough smarties to knock me out.

Looks like ZP are revamping points system again. Numbers are all very different today.

I did see that last night ..... my race gained me 19 points, yet the points table has me loads more. TBH i don't really understand how they derive the numbers so tend to ignore it. I don't see how i can have more points than Andy, for e.g. when he is clearly a faster rider than me and competes in B cat. I think the 30 day points are too short a timescale, they'd be better off looking over 12 months.
