Training Log Archive: Ifor

A very bitty club ride. How come when I go on a saturday I end up leading. 11 at the start. Twisty backroad route north and up Nibbly hill one puncture out back of services. Then back to wooton someone had mudgaurd trouble so we stoped just before town. Told people to wait at bottom of old london road. When I got there after about 5 minutes Anna, Freddy and Mike hod gone on down into town so 8 of use carried on up OLR, not as bad as I had been led to belive. I punctured at the top. Another puncture and mudgaurd faff going around the top of the valley and down the realy steep road into Wooton. South to hawksbury upton, horton, Iron Acton and back. 3 hours riding but out for about 4 hours with all the stops. New guy Ed was along OK apart from last few k where he ran out of energy (no food).

Intended to go and tag some flags for my night event but it was pissing down most of the day will have to wait for next week.

Was going to go over the bridge again but had to fix a puncture befor setting out so just did the hawksbury Upton loop instead. Wanted to be sure I was back for the Biathlon on the box. fairly brisk pace.

Westbury training. Mikes group, not too many out with the rain also it's Western Prom run night so a good nunber down doing that. 5 * about 1km with some undulations. 3.43, 3.36, 3.36, 3.33, 3.30. couple of minutes rest. First time I have finished the session in a good month so pleasing and I was fealing fairly good. Need new trainers feet feeling sore in these by the end, some of the sharper corners did not help. Only started feeling hip just as we got back so it is improving.

Shirenewton, Devauden loop. Colder than I expected, fogy untill coming back over the bridge when it warmed up a bit. Had the back light turned up a bit more than normal. Pushed fairly hard as looking at the forcast snow for tomorrow morning I don't think the Wendsday ride will be on.

Bok training from the White Lion. Bigest turnout for ages with 9 running 4 more in the pub as well. Loop north over motorway then back round to the east. Cut it short with Brian as they were going to start heading away again after 40 minutes heading for the cycle track and my hips had been hurting for 10 minutes already. Felt better for longer than yesterday though but that could be the Ibuprofen I took....

Westbury with Mikes group. Felt quite quick around back of cemetry into Westbury village up past the mouse to RB Right up the hill and out to whiteladies RB. I joged back from there. Both hips just a bit uncomfortable althoiugh they were very well wrapped up and sweating alot so not cold in themselves but I have just got them agrivated...

Severn Sunday run. Did not do the advatised route but stuck to the bigger roads. Monouth, Raglan, Usk loop. Noot going so well a week off the bike I guess. Nice out though and a good turnout for the first good day in a month... Quite a few stops...
