    About 50 miles too much. Set out with sore legs and finished with really sore legs.

    Left the house at 7:15, 13 miles on my brand new bike (first ride apart from a few hundred yards in jeans in front of the house) and back in time for breakfast after realising my bum needs to toughen up before I can get back up the 50 milers I did on my hybrid!

    Glorious sunshine, bit windy though!

    Trained last night, 45 mins re-hab leg exercises after work, plus stretching.
    Rest today, pity as it was lovely here.

    Off tomorrow, so ride going ahead.
    Gotta decide, road or Mtb?!

    Bideford to Topsham - 53 miles across the heart of Devon, 4,400ft ascent/descent, glorious weather, tailwind. I can't really class such a glorious ride as training though.

    30 Mile loop out to Pateley Bridge and back, very sunny, nearly empty roads and the few drivers who passed gave me lots of room. Lots of ups and downs. I must buy one of those bikes with gears soon or I'll forget how to use them.

    55 mile club run to Harrold country park. Sat in the sun, drank too many coffees, eat too much cake and talked too much shite. Perfect.

    62 mile club spin @ 19mph average.mainly Cale of Belvoir.
    Sunny, warm, and a decent bit of banter at the cafe. Few good climbs, and some brutal headwind,

    Steady.

    Yesterday morning at 07:30am (Sunday) I did hill training as it was nice and sunny with a glorious temperature between warm and cool :lol: There was few cars apart from the end of my route which is in a town center anyhow.

    However, I felt like sh*te and struggled the first half, decided to cut short and only done 33 miles. By the afternoon I was fully recovered and wanting to go out again, but with the Vuelta and F1 on telly, the potato couch in me won....I feel so guilty :wink:

    35 min steady/recovery run all within HR zone 2 (65 -75% MHR).

    WTF - It was still dark at 0545 :cry:

    Will be having a blast on the CX bike after work. I hope it rains :twisted:

    14 miles of recovery ride for me, as Jeff, legs felt surprisingly good considering the hammering they got yesterday, and the 5 hours + driving afterwards.

    70 mile steady club run for me which took in part of the Tour of Britain stage
    Have been of the bike for 9 weeks due to injury so was nice to be back
    Had been out most days in the last week but only doing 10-15 mile rides (25 miles max) so nice to get a slightly longer one in.
