Sunday road ride

Today was a nice steady ride to Four Elms in the sunshine. Jane took a few QOM's on the way. As she begins to get fit, she's mopping up a few :) I had one KOM today until Jane took it off me :( it was a day of headwinds, no matter which way we rode it was in our face.

Wednesday

No othg yesterday, my Spanish lesson was changed. So today I rode the Epsom loop to wake up my body to a bit of suffering :). Every year I forget what pushing hard is like. There was quite a bit of traffic( I had to stop and wait for a huuge group of friendly hikers, at least thirty in a long snaking crocodile on the longest single track. Just before that there was a group of around fifteen runners on the fast track from Headley. And I had a chain suck on the first climb. But it was a good ride and I was less than two minutes off my June time for last year.

Tuesday othg

The cold weather had returned today. I'm getting the hang of the frankenbike bike now and quite enjoying it. Camellia Botnar was today's destination and we met Brian Holm there.

Sunday mtb

The drought is over! After waking to pouring rain and cancelling today's ride with Paul, I thought I might do some turbo. Jane woke an hour later and said it's easing lets go. After two and a half hours of driving rain, huge puddles and splashy mud, I'm guessing she was being a little optimistic :) Good ride though :)

Tuesday othg

A couple of punctures on today's ride, but a good steady ride on a nice spring like day. I road the chimera frankenbike and just about kept up. :)

Sunday rehab ride

Another steady 80km on the road and the knee seems good. We took the nice rolling route out to Four Elms, and took tea outside in the sunshine :)
Today I took the Marin equipped with the road wheels and it felt good.

Saturday ride

Jane's first ride proper since her crash. I was trying my new wheels on the mtb. They should have been on the hard tail, but the rear brake was stuffed. So I put them on the Santa Cruz. Here are some pics of Jane modelling it for me.

Saturday ride

No Jane again today, so me and Paul did a snowy ride around the downs. It was quite slippery and icy in places. There were lots of oohs and giggles as we had moments of lost traction. Photos by PF. Jane managed an hour on the turbo and felt good.

Saturday ride

No Jane today as she bashed her knee in a bad crash last Sunday, so I did a ride with Paul. Very sunny, very cold and perfectly dry for mountain biking. Paul's bike handling was very good today, I expect the racing all winter has something to do with it. :) My spinning is beginning to pay off and I'm lasting a bit longer on each ride.
