2/7/09 a busy week....several fast short ones!


Plan this week is to do 5 daily rides Sun-Thu totalling 90-100 miles
Faster & shorter - then rest Fri/Sat ready for the 86 mile SouthernSportive on Sunday

28/6/09 Round Corby again. Lovely cool still misty part of the day - before the sun burnt through. Solid ride all around Corby
34.9m 2h6m at 16.1mph

29/6/09 Pylon. Legs heavy took it easy but still posted 2nd quickest ever time!!
12.2m 42m40 at 17.2mph

30/6/09 Rothwell-Farpoint Route. Another warm sunny muggy 'buggy!' evening. Kept the old legs turning despite some tiredness. Loved doing farpoint in reverse - shot through Loddington & down the hil at great pace
15.7m 54m26 at 17mph

1/7/09 93 years since.... Did Rothwell/pylon lost of irritating bugs but georgious summer evening..England at it's best! Legs heavy still respectable time. Total for week 79m - maybe just pylon tomorrow. As I sailed through the countryside I thought of all those young lives lost on the Somme all those years ago.
16.6m 58m52s at 16.9mph

2/7/09 a short one.. Very hot day - legs/neck bit stiff but dragged myself out on a short 'loosener' ride. Just circumnavigated Kettering. Will rest up ready for the 86m 4800ft of climb ride at Wantage on Sunday.
7.3m 26m21s at 16.1 mph

not bad 5 days ride total 86.25m 5h8m at a fast 16.8mph!

will do some longer slower ones next week leading up to Manchester->Blackpool on Sunday week (12th)

Training going well but looks like rain on Sunday....maybe 'September' conditions like the Norwich 100...
