Don't I know it, I find myself wondering how Redgrave, Pinsent, et al did it after every session on the rowing machine.

Still, I reassure myself that I'm not doing badly for someone who's turned sixty.

The hard work and miles seem to be paying off. After a rest day yesterday I had a session in the gym ths evening and smashed my PB for my virtual 7mile ride by 40seconds; best time down from 19min 23sec to 18min 43sec! Whooaar, thats an average of nearly 22.5mph - I didn't expect that. Just goes to ...

Just out of interest Dave but what happened to the other guy?

Mend quick Mr. Bass, and Scobswell too....

I just wanted to say a big thank you for the very kind and generous donations I've received from members here - super stuff.

Oh, and this is a little bump too, just in case anyone else was inclined but forgot....

Cheers

Out again early this morning before more rain is forecast to arrive. I headed east out onto a ridge above the Somerset levels then back for a hard climb up onto the top of the Quantock Hills; https://i.imgur.com/tWxXRta.png I took a short break for something to eat when I dropped down onto the level...

Another ride in the rain this morning, some more strength added and more calories burnt;

A good reason to keep pedalling;

I just ignore them, its only water...

Here's how I spent my lunchtime today;



It rained most of the way and there was quite a bit of snow on the top of the climb; no time for phots though.

I'll try and make the Sunday Steve.

If you're in the general vicinity sometime we could do another 'two tunnels'...

It's rare for me to head up towards Lundun but if I do I'll look forward to a grand tour.

Been to the gym this evening and had a session on the spin bike, needed to after the weekend's weather. I've now had sub 19min times for my virtual 7miles for the last two visits, which is more than a 10% improvement from when I started. 7miles in 18mins 47secs = a virtual 22.4mph! I'm not going to ...

That's a good milestone to achieve Mr B.

No ride this weekend, though the snow has melted very quickly today and the roads are pretty much clear now, if very wet.

I've been in contact with Andrew about obtaining some additional PCBs too.
