That’s pretty much it, me vs the clock. It tends to play to my strengths as well. I’m good at just suffering and putting out reasonable power for a sustained period of time. I tried road racing but was tactically poor.
Bashed out the Festive 500 again over the Christmas period and a couple of other rides... Just under 600km in just over a week wasn't a bad way to see out 2018!
Only 2 miles, convinced the wife to buy a road bike finally so we just went up and down the road to make sure she was happy with the set up. So excited she will finally ride with me even if it's going to be slow and short to start.
20 miles a day commuting and then try and smash out an endurance ride at the weekend. seem to be using the car more and more since its cooled down too much for me
I'm sure it's a 360' headwind round here! I decided to drive in for the club ride today and typically it's the only time the wind would have been with me on the way home
Forget this roadie miles stuff, get into mountain biking and measure the smiles instead! Three hours in Wharncliffe and Genocide woods this morning and plenty to smile about.
I'm up for that. Just finished a 40mile reliability ride, cake time.
Ended up at 60miles for reliability ride and the "commute" either end, a decent speed for me of 17.4mph. Then a 12 miler to the shops with the wife, only averaged 11.2 but she's going further each time.
33 mile ride out this morning. Quite nice out there when the sun was out. I felt quite good until my TomTom app informed me cyclist my age average 1.5 mph more than me! Not on my bloody 13.5kg cyclo-cross bike with off road tyres they don't! ��
Just turbo work for me lately. A spur of the moment ramp test after an hour long workout felt a little easy shows a 10% improvement after 5 weeks though, pretty pleased with that. If it keeps improving I may end up a competent club cyclist!
Just back from 3 days cycling in Mallorca. My first trip there but certainly not my last, absolutely amazing riding and routes. 160 miles and 14500 ft elevation covered in near perfect riding conditions.

Nice, looks amazing. Some friends are off there later in the year, one has asked if I'd be up for it next year.
On another note I've been sent a free month trial of Trainer road, does anyone want it? Would need an email address to send it too, and I think you need to put card details in to use it but can be cancelled before you get billed
20 miles in the New Forest today, had planned 45 miles but my GPS wasn't playing route wise and the crosswinds weren't safe
