Playing tennis on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings so rules out riding the bike into work those days as it finishes too late. Need to try to gain some arm muscles so I can hit the ball harder

Skip tennis and ride your bike instead

Owch Iain, coming down is the worst part... Aiming to go up Ben Nevis in the next month or two, want to try it again after giving up the last time a few years ago

We came down the way we went up and it was like constantly going down stairs with all the rocks. Last time I did it, we walked down the loch side of the ridge and it was a lot better. Couldn't see the path for the cloud yesterday, so stuck to the main path back!

Well heading into winter it's warmer running around indoors

I am not very good at tennis though, tonight was the 'club night' with lots of doubles matches going on and I was so bad that eventually the girl I ended up playing with started shouting! The supervisor said he wasn't impressed as its meant to be like cricket and playing with manners etc, he must have felt sorry for me cos he offered me a free lesson

I signed up the for the Four Star bike and food event in two weeks. Since the entry fee was the same for each distance offered I just chose the longest (62 mile) option. It'll be a good way to break in the new bike with a full day of riding.


The only problem is the twelve mile ride from my house to the start/finish location.

86 miles. Nice. Doable with plenty rest stops.

I've got a few events coming up.
55 miles flat along the coast
35 miles on hills and cycle path
60 miles on hilly roads
55 miles on hilly roads.

I went out and did 70km with a few category climbs today. Saw Josh Edmonson from Team Sky while I was out and he was absolutely monstering the road. Good job he was going in the opposite direction as it would have taken him less than 10 seconds to well and truly drop me. Haha

I've had a pretty good week for cycling, three hours on the roadbike while commuting to and from work, plus three and half hour on the mountainbike. With better weather I could have done more on the roadbike, but it's a good start after a six week of not doing much.

[Mark]

Did 45 miles today but for some reason I wasn't on form at all. Felt like I was cycling with a puncture. But I wasn't it was just I wasn't up to it this morning. Distance wise it was easy enough I was just struggling for any sort of pace.

Okay lads, best way to build up your pecs?

I am being serious.
