Training Log Archive: 'Bent

Taken on the same trail as today’s ride:

Twisty downhill in Palgrave on my recumbent from Richard Ehrlich on Vimeo.

C • Nice! 2

Easy trot with AD, including some exploring of old trails that we don’t use any more.

Full Palgrave East on a spectacular day. Perfect conditions. Pushed a bit harder to drop some riders behind me, rather than have a complicated pass. Overdressed!

Full Palgrave West tour with the big guy, including some bushwhacking, then part of Palgrave East, but it was too busy. I should stick to cold mornings there.

AD got a separate walk.

Workout 2 plus some core, rehab and another load of lumber hauled out. Maybe 1 small load left.

Palgrave East with the big guy. We also got some wild leeks to transplant to our hill. And a few for dinner.

C • I call it garlic 5

Trot with the dogs- separately this time.

Nice tour of Palgrave on a brilliant sunny cold morning. Frozen hard trails were totally worth the chilly fingers.
The bike sure knows the way around the single track now. They used to be times that I couldn’t get past certain sections. Now it’s just one S bend that’s physically impossible with my wheelbase. Maybe Danny McCaskill could wheelie and hop it around on my bike.

Finally got the needed footage to finish a short video of the tight twisty part on Salty Stephen. Also had 3 work related texts and a call.

C • Dialled! 2

Workout 1 with heavier weights plus rehab.

Nice Tour de Palgrave while the trails were frozen up. I played around with the Gopro a bit on the tricky descent on Salty Steven. I had to skip the flat trails on the East section as they had thawed.

Rest of workout 2 and some more core and kb. May need to source some bigger dumbells.
Moved 1 more load of wood too.

C • Good luck with that! 8

Out with the big guy. We got some wild leeks to transplant, and some to stir fry.
