Glad Mr Capsey is working out for you Mr. Bass.
I thought it was time to get my legs moving again so went out for a spin from work yesterday lunchtime;
Departed: Aug 23, '18, 12:12PM
Starts in: Taunton Deane, England, GB
Distance: 22.3 mi
Elevation: +1017/-1025ft
Max Grade: 6.6 %
VAM: 441 Vm/h
Total Duration: 01:16:09
Moving Time: 01:15:43
Calories: 879
Avg. Watts: 194
Max Speed: 34.1 mph
Avg. Speed: 17.7 mph
Moving Pace: 00:03:23
Max Heartrate: 144 bpm
Min Heartrate: 68 bpm
Avg. Heartrate: 117.4 bpm
This training malarky seems to work as I set PBs on about half a dozen of the segments.

Some more pictures. First a couple of me on the front pulling the group along (I did a lot of that);
Everyone at the pub for lunch;
The end of the road; team photo outside my place of work at about 9pm;
And finally, I bet Mr. Bass doesn't have too many encounters like this on his London laps;

Or in other words, acting as a wind shield that the others can hide behind

Indeed Mike, though to be fair to the others, I was one of the stronger riders in the group and I do most of my riding alone so I'm used to shifting air. I had the satnav too.
Sorry, I couldn't resist!

I found some tips and advice for amatour cyclists in the Weekly. I think you all know these things, though.

This year's Tour of Britain (with Messrs Froome and Thomas) is visiting the West Country next week; I'm planning to ride, with a few others, down to Cranbrook, near Exeter, next Monday for the start of the stage and then take a direct route to Willand, (while they take the long way around, about three times as long) to watch them race by there. I'll do something around 80miles to see less than a minutes action! Coffee and cake on the agenda after Willand though so it'll be worth it.

I really need to get back on the bike. Haven't touched it this year, mostly due to hifi building!
Perhaps I'll cycle to the next Owston - but not if I'm taking my new amp which I'm expecting to weigh in at around 20kg (the PSU around the same). Perhaps some sort of trolley arrangement...
