Training

Today I had a day off due to mid term tests at the high school. Morning cleaned the car. Noon to the driving range to hit 200+ balls. Afternoon and night I went to Aprico An Italian styled cafe for cyclists (and anybody else). Owned and operated by Mr Mukai a great rider in his

4 starters. Still very unfit and didn’t take me long before I dropped off the back and rode by myself for a lap or two. Then had another stint in the pack before getting dropped again. Bike is feeling really good now have to work on getting my aerobic fitness back. Will go to the

Today, as usual running late for training after feeding the dogs so I did a little 5km warm up on the rollers before heading out into the cold. Some electrical tape repair work on my shoe covers kept my toes warm today. I ordered a new pair of shoe covers on amazon the other day

We had snow last night followed by heavy rain then nice blue skies all day. The roads were nice and dry by 9p.m just in time for my first sprint training session since our big crash. I wanted to do an hour’s warm up, but by the time I played with the doggies, and got

Was called up for another out of the blue Noda sprint training tonight. My legs still felt lethargic from Tuesday. 3 riders tonight which is better than 1. Both were stronger than me. 5km warm up, 10 X 3.8km sprints. 5km cool down. (48km). I only won the last sprint. Again I got them tired…tired

With rain on the forecast for tomorrow I forced myself to ride to work today. With 2 training sessions planned for Tue (morning & night) I didn’t want to go without. A bit cool on the way in and dark clouds on the horizon made for perfect riding to work weather. No build up of
