That's the sort of ride I need after a couple of weeks off the bike in Florida.
Steady, fat-burning rides with NO hills, to get rid of the non-Paleo, non-Atkins, non-athlete's cheeseburgers and beer diet...all that earlier weight loss approach and training gone to pot! Oh well...
Been awake now for nearly 36 hours...now my stamina is improving, feeling in need of some longer, steadier rides!
Glad to hear the training plan went well
Dedication required to eat and drink that much.
Next Sunday last one before Spanish ascent
Hence mountains of hills needed
Pain is only weakness leaving the body
Go cold turkey, have a cold sweat ,become hot stuff
All in one ride :-)

2.30pm today still on.
I have a groggy head, so see how we go
Probably North into the wind
35 to 40 miles, 16 mph
See ya
7 out for 32 miles at 16 mph
Back to normal next week

Good fun

Unsteady and desperately slow on the Brompton this morning....back tyre felt as fat and slack as the one around my waist!
Depending on work/jet lag may ride around the chain gang route tonight...but the other way and no intention of joining the group.
May see you Sunday, if you're heading south towards Preston, will join from Willian/Wymondley.

It is dark when we finish though
You will need lights
If not hopefully Sunday
Cheers
Leaving Ashwell around 6.30ish to get a couple of steady evening sunshine hours in.
What time does chaingang finish, as might have left for home by then?

Good to have you back
My Garmin said we finished at 7.30 but i am sure it lied about my heart rate although i hope so

Thought you started at 7.30 - did you finish at 8.30?
Seems right for 18miles for 2 circuits plus back to & from Ashwell.
