302 miles covered in the past 2 weeks (128 / 174) that's brought me to 7,130 for the year. Gonna push for 9000 by 31/12!
Longest day on bike 50 miles.
Cayo has been preserved, after mistakenly taking it out on a dry day(above) but very wet below! Dirty bike is performing well though, to the point that i treated both bikes to a good clean at the weekend. New term and relevant schedule kicks in proper this week, which affects mileage potential, but trying to keep above 150 minimum as long as possible.
May go out and do the Monday night NABC ride tonight, but with moire rain on the radar may delay my decision.
In other news. Bertie and 2 other spanish "mates" have been suspended due to suspected doping. Bertie's case is a strange one, as he was "clean" for days before and after the rest day test in question from the Tour. Have heard the possibility of a blood transfusion muted, which may account for traces of a drug being in the system as opposed to the alleged food poisoning story - this one will run and run.
As or the Worlds - brilliant, cycle racing as it should be: congrats to Pooley, Phinney, Spartacus & Thor, also not forgetting Millar and Cooke's gutsy rides too.
Winter is approaching so arm warmers and long sleeves garments etc are becoming de rigeur. Bought a Planet X long sleeved jersey which arrived this week - love it really comfortable - hat and long fingered gloves will be on soon too - ho hum, roll on Xmas!
