Thursday

29 miles round city & suburbs & countryside. Cracking night to be out, quite windy but felt good all the way round. 15.6mph average. Despite bike being in at LBS getting checked out, there's still a slight knocking coming from the bottom bracket area, despite it being replaced two weeks ago. Further investigation required methinks.

Totals

Total training mileage to date is now over the 1,500 mile mark. That's quite far!

Played squash for an hour last night plus a little extra running, some different exercises than cycling.

Bike training officially ceases a week today on the 25th, followed by football pre-season training commencing on the 27th June!

Tuesday night

22 quick (for me) miles, average speed 16.2mph

Saturday Training Ride

74 miles up and over Cairn o Mount from the South, definitely harder than from the North, much steeper ascent, but managed to get up to 48.5mph on the downhill on the other side. Zip zippy zip zip!!

Bike goes into get new cassette and chain fitted on Tuesday, toying with the idea of getting the tyres replaced.

Commute

40 Miles commuting. Wind in my face on the way to work, wind in my face on the way home. Yeah, like THAT'S fair.

Twa' hunner

Several hundred items of roadkill on the menu over the past two days, today's special being badger. 4 prize specimens awaiting the discerning customer in a number of phases of decomposition.

Dessert menu, anyone??

Friday

21 miles home. 19 of which in torrential rain and hailstones. Marvellous stuff for June!!

Miles of Smiles

18 Miles last night on newly serviced bike, 21 this morning to work...some more this evening, at least 21...any less and I won't get home. Saturday off for wedding, then off Monday & Tuesday, hopefully weather will be conducive to back-to-back 100's.

Running

Pre-pre season training at Duthie Park tonight, easy runs, hard sprints, hill reps. Lovely.

Monday Miles

30 miles on Monday night, plus five a side football.

Next monday and tuesday off work, so I'm planning on another couple of large ones. Training will officially cease about 5 days before the off just to let my body recover sufficiently.

Sponsorship is continuing to roll in which is ace.

Weekend

80 miles this weekend. Bazillions of road kill. Also booked first two nights of accommodation, so its all happening. Shake n bake.
