First week back

When i say week, i actually mean 3 days of cycling - an excuse in advance of divulging the mileage total! 120ish miles this week, not including the sneaky whip around the block (20 miles of today) which i will add to next weeks score.

But after being off the bike for 10 days, it felt good - still have a bit of niggly ache in the back / ribs area, but otherwise all is good. Getting used to the Scotty, cleaned it and finally fitted mudguards today - and not too soon based on the weather forecast to come.

Hoping to achieve a more reasonable mileage this week, and all in all should finish the month approaching 500, which is in line with last year's total - not bad for an enforced layoff?

TDU has been and gone. Congrats to Cameron Meyer on the overall, Cav was conspicuous by his absence, but then so were many others. Lance completed his last race pending any further comebacks, Matt White got sacked by Garmin and Robbie proved there is still life in those legs and Ben Swift proves that Brit sprinters do not begin and end with Cav either. Roll on Qatar...
