Training round up

I’ve still not been getting as many miles in as possible but I am making small steps. This week I managed a few miles on the turbo trainer and a long ride out into the Cotswolds with the boys.

It took a while to get going as I’ve been feeling pretty tired. The 8am start turned into a 1pm departure. Still it was worth it as the weather and the route were superb.

Mark had an incident with his chain breaking which served as a good on the road repair test. We patched it up and managed to find a local bike shop to get a new one fitted.

Towards the end we work well as a team and took turns at the front. For a good few miles we lay it down and it felt great; could feel it in the legs after though!

In total we managed 50+ miles; long enough considering how tired I’ve been feeling. By the end I was a bit sore but completely awake.
