23 Mile Endurance Pace Ride

It was another cold and windy morning, but while staying in bed was an attractive option, I knew I’d be angry with myself if I was that lazy. So on the basis that any exercise is obviously better than none, I forced myself out the door and down the road,…

29 Mile Endurance Pace Ride

I’ve got a few days off work now, so took the chance to get out on the bike this morning. It’s a bit damp and muddy around the country lanes here, but more challenging is the wind. It makes for a good workout though, I just keep an eye on my Power and…

Another nice morning for a bike ride, it was cold, but also dry and clear, just the sort of morning I enjoy riding my bike. Thankfully, after a couple of rides of trying to sort out a “dodgy” Power Meter, I took it apart yesterday and cleaned the seals,…

Indoor Rollers - 40 Minutes Tempo Pace Ride

I’ve been off the bike for the past two weeks, one week of which was due to a serious bout of “ManFlu”, as most men know a terrible affliction for any man to have to suffer through. So bad in fact that I suspended Rule No. 5 – “Harden the fuck up”.

31 Mile Endurance Pace Ride

I met up with Chris early this morning and we decided to do a couple of the steeper hills we have around here this morning. It wasn’t as cold as I thought it was going to be, but it was a lot windier than I expected which moderated our pace somewhat.…
