Ideal cycling weather today

Frank the tank

Did you achieve your goal for the day today?

I fortunately did, but it left me 5miles short of the ton. But the century wasn't my goal today, I'll get that next weekend.

Slow Downcp

Didn't get out today - went to get things for Mothers Day, and then watched Milan-San Remo. Will be getting a few hours in tomorrow morning before going to see my mom - weather not forecast as good, but still not too bad.

My goal was to not have to wash my bike. Thank you nice dry roads!

Out at the crack of dawn for a swift 50 and felt ok considering I've not been out for a few weeks.

i had a great session this morning. started a new interval session last week, and its brilliant! threw up after it today(patialy because i only had breakfast 20 minutes before i left) but it's seriously painful.

the weather was also nice

Had a belter today - planned to go up to Tan Hill and come back the same way and that's exactly what I did. Beforehand I thought it might be a bit of a daft idea as it's about 50% further than I've been this year and with a lot more climbing, but did the 101 miles and 8600ft of climb in a shade under 7.5 hours (including the 45 minute stop at Tan Hill Inn). I'm happy to admit that I'm immensely chuffed with that, especially as I've not done much more than commute to work twice a week so far this year!

Didn't get out and I'm pretty fecking annoyed about it too. :evil:

Having seen today's forecast I gave the arranged curry a miss last night, ate sensibly instead, one bottle of Cockerhoop, early night, up at 6am, sipping on my usual carb drink and a cereal bar and within minutes I get an upset stoumach.

Might as well of had a bloody king prawn madras after all!! :x

Sunday doesn't look too clever for here.

That'll teach you! I had a curry and bottle of wine last night, slept for about 3 hours, lay awake from midnight to 5, got up, washed, ate and went out for a nice ride! :shock:

Got 60 miles in this morning though in the last 15 miles i was actually overtaken by a bloke on a mountain bike with flatties (non clip pedals)! :shock:
He averaged 21mph for 12 miles. I stayed around 50 metres behind him for that distance before turning off the road. Surely he must race!

I could have dropped him but it was my recovery ride............honest! 8)

Not sure about excuse but the the prospect of getting diarrhoea on my new Toupe Team was certainly a factor.

Git!

I've had about 8 litres of water today, two boiled eggs and some soup seemed to help settle my stoumach. I had bolagnase with a huge ratio of linguine to ragu for dinner (and a home measure of Grenache Shiraz) so I'll rise early and try again in the morning.

60 miles saturday, 1st half into head wind.

Averaged 16.5,ph, but legs ached badly at the end.

25 mile recovery ride sunday, not so bad.

67 rather hilly miles in glorious Devon sunshine today. Took my arm warmers off and as a result have my cyclists tan in place much earlier than usual.

Pretty much a perfect weekend really.

Bloody windy in the north west today. Seems like its windy every Sunday lately.
