Today's Ride

[BerthaPog]

Barford via Tourmalet. A gentle bit of road on the Freddie Grubb this morning.

today was a very hot (above 32°) and dry day, so singlespeeding wasn't the best choice, I must admit. it didn't take too much time to become clear the ride turned to bimbling around rather than a 'real' and 'serious' ride. otherwise it was good.

Saturday morning blast was ace. Warmish with the wind blowing from the S/SW. Managed to beat a heavy shower before brekkie, and with no-one about, that's a solid gold ride.

friday evening - fields of gold over the fenland - big mostly-off-road loop at max chat to get the training in - who says flat is easy - then rdv with partner to grab beer at Dyke's End - no lights ride in pitch black back home.



Saturday spannering lessons for grom who has interview at bike shop this week

Sunday fast fast single track in Thetford ... started at 9'30 rather then the usual 8'30 so quite busy. But high gear blasting so training is working....

Fresh cut football ground in the middle of nowhere

My favorite nutrition at the moment: Another pound of roadside cherries

Thick cloud, damp, 10-13 mph S/SW breeze, felt about 13/14. After yesterdays washout and overnight rain, thankfully there was a break this morning early doors. The universe came into play with a bee flying into my helmet at Sancreed, stinging my big bonce. That break whilst I made sure they'd left meant I avoided a bell-end driving way too fast on the single track road into St Buryan.

Apart from the drama, a lovely ride. It felt a bit like the calm before the school holiday storm...(this is over at Sennen looking north east)

Whoa there, I have to make my own way, you say?

My health has not been the same since the first Covid infection. The first time was nearly two years ago, and I continue to struggle with fatigue. As much as I'm fighting to increase my fitness, there are continual reminders that I'm not the 150 mile a week rider I was.

Adding a 12 mile ride into my regular day equals wiped out by 7pm.

The other rides logged here recently are few because they will consume most of my energy for the day. More often than not I will need to sleep them off to recover.

However, today I conspired to commute to the office by bike. In between light showers, it was a lovely day. The fact that I could ride to work made my day.

TPT to Sprotbrough and back.

The Office.

Braved the winter and took the Heckler up to the local trails.
