Training Log Archive: 'Bent

An unpromising early morning wake-up during a thunderstorm turned out OK. Nice long run with Bash, Slowrunner, Rocky and Boston Rob from Mono Mills down to the rec centre. Great company, but key issues left BR and me running to his house to get MsBR to drive us back up to get the various cars.

Time's approximate- I'll have to see what K/O had on her watch.

Workout #2 + shoulders and extra hamstring and quad stuff.
My neck's getting better.

Morning commute with some extra singletrack and hills, but back home I had to take the short route between thunderstorms. Stooopid storms!

Bike around Albion with Coach LD and The Gazelle. Bash came along on PN's Specialized epic, but took her own route so she could familiarize herself with the bike.

Here's a pic of Bob & Hansel et all at Primal Quest. They're all skipping a river section due to brutal white water.

C • Brutal whitewater? 26

Nice to be off the bike and on the hoof for a change.

Stoopid thunderstorms- It was gorgeous this AM but I drove, thankfully.

Watched stages 10-12 on the Giro. Total slide-fest at stage 11 finish on roads so slippery they were frothy.

2 AM mud-fest after heavy rain that dumped during Sid's lap- so much for the "easy" course. (Sid was a trooper, btw!) Slippery and slimy first half, second half was more solid. I had a better lap than I feared, mainly because there wasn't much traffic. Goose encountered more people dragging their bikes up the mud-slopes on the previous lap.

I really enjoyed the slower, more cautious "riding in the moment" cruise.

Last lap at the 24. Sid made it in before 12:00 with 3 minutes to spare, so if I pulled off a 1:03 it would count. Much drier, and sparse traffic on course made for a decent lap with time to spare. (Actually 33 minutes to spare, it turned out.)
