Training round up
Managed 90 miles this week through a combination of riding to rowing and one long ride. I could have made it another century week but work got in the way.
I’m really enjoying long rides down to Chiping Camden. The scenery is divine and the road back to Stratford is smooth and fast. Working with Mark we were able to sustain a good 25-30mph for a few miles.
Getting worried that I’m not going to be strong enough for the Alps. The recent cancallation of the Grand Fondo hasn’t helped as I was going to use that as a marker. Reps of Edge Hill just isn’t going to cut it so I may take myself off to the Lake District for a few training rides.

The Bike

Trek Madone 5.0 (2007) - I love this bike, some would say too much with the amount of time I spend maintaining it! But if I'm going to be going 50mph down a mountain I want to know its in good shape.
