    Saturday, got a 3 hour at 200 watts ride.
    Me and a friend riding next to each other for conversation, but we're going to be careful to not draft. We're going for a rolling route rather than big hills, as it's difficult to keep the power up down hill!

    Sunday, cafe ride, 80 odd miles with about 4000ft of climbing.

    Then next wednesday a century ride in preperation for the Northern rock Cyclone on the 12th.

    I am racing in melbourne nottingham. I have a brand new scott addict to put through it's paces. Unfortunately my 3 month old garmin edge 705 has died a death (randomly turnt off 10 miles into a ride even though charged up the night before and will not turn back on) so I wont be able to get any stats from the race to compare to my previous races on the trek 1.7. I am way out of my leauge in this race series anyway so I'm sure I will end up essentially doing a 50 mile TT yet again :-p

    Racing in the ECCA 10 & 25 mile championship TTs on Sat/Sun.

    Not too fussed about Sat, but Sun is a chance to beat my 25 PB...maybe :roll:

    Racing at Bole Hill. The course is just three big hills and three descents. Should be fun.

    Going to get early tomorrow morning for a hard hill climb repeats.

    Bloody BBC weather though couldn't predict a prayer in a convent.

    30 miles on the single speed tonight (Felt's in the shop, see my Workshop thread) then I'll retire to our wonderful garden to listen to the fountain, eat food, drink beer and forget about the stresses of work.

    Tomorrow I'll hopefully collect the Felt and head out in the afternoon for 40 or 50 miles.

    Sunday? No idea; too far away to predict!

    I'm doing loops in the Filey/Scarborough area to include Staxton hill.

    The sea was a mill-pond yesterday at Cayton Bay and water temperature is still quite cold.

    Staxton Hill is a belter. And so is the one up to Humble Bee Farm campsite out of Flixton!

    North Sea is flat calm up here.
    Not sure of Essex, but I know Norfolk is beautiful and Sunny right now... Or is that bootiful? :wink:

    My little 'un has just mastered the bike, without the stabilizers, 'wobbly bike' as he now calls it.
    I can't wait to get home and take him down to the track... :D

    Leaving work at 4 today to get a few hours in, will try for another tomorrow morning before me taking for granted that Summer is here at last bites me on the bum on Sunday.

    I'm off to my other half's nieces 18th birthday party. Turns out is't a pool party............
    I won't be in the pool, but I will be enjoying the scenery with a cold beer or two. I suspect that dark glasses may be necessary.
    Need I say more ?

    Other than I'm obviously going to hell (If there was such a place !!)

    Be funny as if it was a pool (as in billiards party) you'd look a pimp hustler.

    I took took the afternoon off and did a 35 mile round trip ride to Lepe (hants)

    Shame the temperature made me sweat so much that my eyes were stinging most of the ride. Better than sitting at my desk staring at a PC screen though :)
    I pushed it and had an av of 19.2mph

    Then I went and sat in the pub around the corner....perfect afternoon.+ my GF text me to ask me out to dinner ..her treat.....bargain :D
