Back on the bike for real then?
The stats:
160miles completed this week - 4 days of consistent commuting on the Cayo, thats 6500 for the year - still on course to break through 8000 for 2010. Proposed participation in NABC club ride on Saturday never materialised - kicking myself now as through a mutual contact learnt they did 80miles (green with envy). Next one 18th Sept - I'm there!
Looking at one's diary, ongoing for this term my weeks will look a bit different so will be probably be up and down on mileages plus inclement weather may foil plans from time to time. September is particularly hectic, but loose plan is to do a regular 2hours or so on a Monday (or other day off) plus 4 days (full -on) commuting where possible with an additional Saturday ride (if possible). This leaves me with an aim of maintaining a minimum 150 per week, which may convert into a 250 plus on a good week?
Rode in on Trek today due to wet ground and further threat of rain - felt like riding a tank in comparison to the Cayo, although feel i may be amending Cayo set-up again after riding the Trek...
Vuelta continues although Petacchi has withdrawn with injury but amidst a doping scandal back home. with the worlds looming - most of the big names not in contention for a jersey will do a sequenced withdrawal this week. Sky have a new Green Kit for Tour of Britain in an effort to show support for the disappearing rainforests - ToB kicks off at the weekend, and is in Norfolk 16th Sept - booked day off months ago!
Idle plan is to build a fixie over the winter, albeit with little or no outlay - quite a challenge?! anyone with an old track bike kicking around or indeed a road bike that is unwanted please let me know.
