Steady turbo, and I’m learning a lot about property
Turbo Session – Steady…. A 90 minute steady heart rate turbo session. I’m hopeful all these turbos and steady work will give me a good grounding for this year’s activites. Now wouldn’t it be good if only I could get power readings too…. The only thing bearable on the screen is property shows – I’m…

Training Ride – no club run but ride all the same
Sunday was a no-club-run day, so it was turn up and see who else did. A group of eight mods/mods plus turned up and we went out and did a route up to Hertford via Puckeridge, High Cross etc. We had three punctures en-route. I guess that is down to the amount of grit…

Training out on the road – what a relief!
Totternhoe and back training Good to be back out on the road. It was amazing how easy the Garmin 800 is to install and use. Just attach using the two rubber bands, and away. It automatically gets speed etc, only thing missing is the cadence – but I don’t worry too much about that.

More snow! More turbo
People will think I secretly like using the Turbo, I’m doing a lot more turbo than on the road at present. Today’s turbo session, only 90 minutes or so, the first hour steady, then some intervals. I finally got round to taking my Giant in to the shop to have the wheel and mudguards done,…

Sno’ fun, must get the turbo set up indoors
Right, if I’m to get any training in, I’m going to have to put the Turbo up in the front room. The question has to be which bike on the turbo? Still, I’m glad I didn’t attempt the train today, it took SWMBO two hours to get into work this morning, and anyway, the bankers…

Nice, that’s south of France, and mountains…
Despite still feeling delicate, I had booked so went on our weekend to Nice, where we got some good riding in. I can only bow to the superior journalistic skill of my big bro’, whose write up is posted here: Dynamo Duncan

Ooops, went down
After a week in the balmy southern hemisphere, including a mountain bike ride in the Tokai forest outside Cape Town, (note to self: don’t like downhill on mountain bike trails, frightens me…) I went out with the club on Sunday morning. I chose to go o ut with the usual “mods plus” group, having done…

Training continues, (my)Tour of the Peak off
Despite challenges to training through work, a week in San Fransisco wasn’t as bad as it could have been. I did manage to get to the gym four mornings, although there was only on recumbent bike in gym, I still spent an hour so each morning on that. I also attempted a couple of short…

More training, less training…
It is a bit like that at present. Some weeks I can get a good set of sessions in (like last week) and then some weeks, like this hardly any. This week I managed a 90-minute session on the bike in the gym in Madrid, doing some steady-state stuff – steady 145bpm. Then nothing ’till…
Got any book recommendations?
