  • Starting 8am Ashwell pub. Then going over Wallington to Baldock crossroads for around 8.30am ish.
    Maybe 8.35.

    So Baldock boys have a lie in.
    There'll be lots of turn offs for a shorter ride.
    Oh... I'm deffo gears.
  • Nice one. Anybody else out on Saturday? I'm getting worried that Robbie's spending more quality one-to-one time with me than with his missus at the moment... O-O
  • Sounds good, shall see you at half 8 in baldock.
  • MC is going to make a guest appearance!
  • I'll share the burden Sean.
    see you soon
  • Jez coming. 5 mins late... so see you but later in Baldock.
    Or ride towards us. Cheeeeeers
  • Ride report for CTRL-ALT-DEL PhilA (done a one-handed on that turbo yet?). Cracking ride round Hertford/Ayot St. Lawrence/Hexton. Six out initially with a couple of peel-offs on the way round. Quite spicy in places (usually when Jez was on the front). Robbie and MC ON THE GEARS. Met a large blue train coming towards us near Whitwell, it looked like twenty plus riders! We continued to stir it occasionally from Hexton for 65 @ 18. Jon won the sprint, but then had the shakes in the Tuns! Robbie feels the need to upgrade again to a plastic Madone next week. My fitness is coming along nicely, although I have just had a short kip... Shaun
  • Did I pass - not overtake, you three just over the A1 @ Langford?

    Apologies if I didn't wave, speak, smile or acknowledge you. I was almost dying in the wind :0(
  • Yes, we did come back that way... and now I think about it, there was this one miserable barstool we passed by near there... ;)
  • Good solid ride with hills and flat bits.
    All hurt.
  • Ha ha :0) Sorry :0(
  • CRT-ALT-DEL here. Successfully completed four turbo sessions this week, with today's being the most arduous. Completed 100km with a number of 5mins blocks at hill repeat (336watts - 354watts) and steady state (304watts - 320watts) pace; it was a toughie, but perversely it was most satisfying. Tomorrow 100km again all at endurance pace (up to, but no more than 258watts), and absolutely no intervals. Only 7 to 9 weeks to go before back on the road and determined to return in good shape. Subject to Carmelo's say so, the Primavera RR is now a strong motivational objective! - thanks guys.
  • Phil you're an inspiration mate!
    Douglas Barder or what!
  • It will be the funniest thing ever if you do 8 weeks on the turbo and then smash the Primavera...
  • It would be pretty amazing; however, I think just finishing is my first and only priority, let alone making it the start line.

    TURBO BLOG! Today's turbo session (Sunday ride) was another 100km monster! A Large proportion (>60mins) of it was ridden at Tempo (283-300watts) pace - I ought to explain that the power zones being referred to here are the result of having undertaken a power/endurance test, they are not random figures plucked from thin air just in case anyone was wondering. It was the power-house Mr Tim H that always encouraged a more scientific approach to training - Thanks T. I intend to do much shorter sessions Mon - Fri. Keep you posted. Cheers all.
  • Sorry - Appear to have missed something here and assume Phil you have had a smash? Mend well if i am correct, mind you i wouldnt put it past you taking on this form of training ;)

    btw small Charge Duster frame will be for sale in a week if you are interested?
  • He cycled into a dog and fell off. Broke his hand bad. It's wired and plastered. Comeback goal is the Primavera. Training for it in his garage. Currently, he can't do CTRL-ALT-DEL very well to log on to a computer.

    You are up to speed.
  • A spot on summary - thanks sb7.
