Ride it like you stole it...

55 miles in total this weekend, due to football cancellation. Gym session sandwiched in between both rides.

I'm getting faster, average speed was 14.7 mph...ride it like you stole it.

Day One Plan

This is my plan for "Day One". Land's End to Okehampton, via Truro, St Austell, Tavistock. 105 miles, give or take.

Route...

First leg of the route will be a 100 mile dash from Land's End to Okehampton. A conservative estimate of 12.5mph (conservative, hmmm, could maybe read ambitious) will mean I'll be 8 hours in the saddle on the first day. And the second. And the third...until I arrive in JoG! Great. Yeah, I mean it.

Bike

First proper blogged picture of the bike! I actually love it. I hope you do too. Let your butterfly of love flap forth. Flap forth, little butterfly.

New pedals and aero bars fitted on Saturday for Sunday's 40 miler. Completed in 2 hours 20 minutes.

Training this week.

Two lunchtimes spent running this week, Wednesday (4 miles) and today (4.5 miles).

4 miles tomorrow too.

Accordingly to the scales, weight loss is now over a stone and a half. By my calculations, I'll have fully disappeared by August 14th, 2012. See ya!

Update. Another one.

Legs are still a little sore from Sunday's duathlon, which I completed in a time of 1 hour 17 minutes.

Bought some new pedals and cleats for the bike so planning to get these (and the aero bars) fitted on Saturday prior to my planned 50 miler on Sunday.

My justgiving page has now been set up, I'll post it on here as soon as it goes "Live"

End.

Friday; day of rest

No training of any type today, other than eating. Bacon & egg rolls, the breakfast of champs!

Bennachie Duathlon is on Sunday (re-arranged) so looking forward to that. I wonder if I'll be able to keep up...

Half century

Longest training run on Monday 9th, 50 miles, completed in a shade over 3.5 hours. Felt good afterwards, starting to think that I might need a new saddle, unless I can get my ass used to this one...

Marchin' Already...

Into March now, so with a slight hangover from the night before, I got in 28 miles before lunch. I've added the bar ends onto the hybrid, so hopefully I'll be out on it from next week.

I'm back cycling to work in the mornings, daylight at 6.15am!
