A couple of days off, a couple of bottles of wine…
Turbo – The 2007 Etape, The 2006 Dragon Ride and the start of the Marmotte . So, despite being in the notice period, I am being worked hard. No chance to get any training in the past few days, so when I got home this evening, I hopped on the turbo. I dug out some…

Turbo on a Sunday morning, and it wasn’t even raining
Not quite the Sunday club run – Details. In accordance with SWMBO’s instructions (wishes?) I am not going out on the road (yet) so this morning I did another Turbo. I didn’t set the laptop up for another run through of the Marmotte, however, Sunday morning TV is sadly lacking, I should have done. A…

Turbo – long and steady does it…
Turbo – long and steady – Details. Last night, out with the boys decided that keeping up the glass of wine to one pint wa snot a good idea so I stuck to pints. I think I was doing okay drinking the Doom Bar (Rock Brewery) but when they ran dry of that, we went…

I won’t be back on the road for some time…
I did a turbo this evening, and I think it ain’t going to be quick recovery. The fingers don’t quite know how to work properly after three weeks bound up. The wrist is painful in sympathy. Garmin Data

Cast off, splint on, this isn’t going to be that easy!
The cast is dispensed with, but in its place I have a splint (think of those splints the people with RSI have to keep their wrist in order). I’m just amazed at how much just moving the two fingers which have been in the plaster for the past three weeks are painful to move. I…

Cast off? Today’s the day
I’m looking forward to today, I get to “cast off”! Of course I have to get to the hospital and back, which is going to set me back a few quid, taxis do! If I’m able, I’ll be back on the Turbo this PM. On another note, I have “siezed the day”, resigned and will…

Turbo with a cast – on a Sunday in Hell
Turbo with a cast – Details. Today I figured I had to give the turbo a go despite the cast. The reduced requirement for balance, changing gears etc ought to make it possible. So I set up the Turbo, complete with the PowerTap wheel and the laptop with the video from YouTube A Sunday in…

Broken hand update
Today I returned to the hospital to see the consultant. He looked at the x-ray and decided it would be better if the bones were better aligned, so off came the old plaster. I’m not good with pain and had to warn him that I might faint as he applied some pressure to the anaesthetised…

Frosty mornings and visting A&E
No club run, but gentle ride to Great Missenden. This morning it was cold but with a clear sky it was too good looking a day to waste. So, I took the Shorter (with the PowerTap wheel) off the turbo for a spin on the road. A reasonable group turned up for the club run,…

Power! And cycling to an interesting video
Turbo session – including Power cycled to the Giro D’Italia – Details. Today my new PowerTap wheel arrived. I set it up on the shorter (currently located on the turbo) and wasn’t really going to do a session, but hey ho, it had to be tried out. As it happens I was out last night…
