The snow came down last night spoiling plans for a ride with the club (hmiddletoncc) today. I was looking for a long ride to add to the 60miles this week across Tuesday nights Winter Wander and Saturdays mornings early run. Hoped to get 140 miles in this week. Punctured on Saturday morning as well. Had to spend the morning in the garage on the turbo, two hours watching repeats of Top Gear and Scrapheap Challenge. This was were I spent the two hours, pretty exotic, added the energy drinks afterwards, honestly!
I had already done 45 minutes on a hotel gym exercise bike early Thursday morning so reckon on this being the biggest week I have ever done for riding without getting anywhere, about 47 miles.
Still, watching all those inspirational programmes with Top Gear adventures and Scrapheap ingenuity did give me the idea for a new hybrid bike to cope with the winter conditions. What do you think, does it still need some work?
Hope we can share our findings and knowledge in prep' for our rides Steve. You can be our Guinea Pig seeing that you head off a week or so before us.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the blog. Not too sure about your chosen energy drinks. Don't use them on your end 2 end, you won't get out of Cornwall!
