Ok so nothing to write home about - circa 120 miles last week, but for me the important thing was to be out - 8 seperate commuting rides over 4 days of around 17 miles on the way in and 12 miles on the way home -as I say nothing overly impressive, but I did it, and also on the majority of the rides managed a decent 18mph + average, and also for you Strave fans got a few personal records on some segments too.
3rd of 3 days off again today but looking forward to upping the mileage this week - maybe 200 this week - 4 days commuting again and a 2 up ride with Simon on Saturday.
Hopefully going to do the Wiggle Rut at end of October - provides me with a target to "end the season" with and also a chance to ride in an organised sportive.
Saw the end of Stage 1 of the Tour of Britain at the Norfolk Showground - great atmosphere! Unfortunately Cav took a tumble with 1k to go, but Team Sky still mopped up the win with Luke Rowe.
Just read Obsessive Cycling Disorder by Dave Barter on my Kindle - A mountain biker at heart but a semi converted roadie - could empathise a lot with his musings and experiences - a great read!
Re-ignited the determination to get a sinlespeed / fixie sorted so my eBay watch list is groaning at the seams at the moment - wheels, forks. frames, bits, kit etc - being strict with max bids though so it's a waiting (and watching) game/
Looking forward to more ToB this week, and hopefully more of a return to normaility.
REST - that's surely Ride, Eat Sleep, repeaT isn't it???
