Last night I arrived late for the usual Wednesday night ride. It varies between an 8-10 mile technical climb, slither, scream back down, repeat exhausting hour or two to 12-16 mile climb/ride/descend more cross country ride. I just mentioned that some long miles might be good as a last blast before Kielder 100.
Blimey, 26 miles of hard miles as a blistering (for me) 12 mile an hour average! So, we are up to nearly 112 miles. Not going to get 38 miles this weekend, I think, but at least it could get frustratingly close :-)
Oh, and when my birthday presents arrived from my mum, they included a "for goodness shakes" powdered recovery drink sample. Seemed like a good opportunity for a test. Don't know if it works superbly as I shared it but don't feel too awful today, and it was pretty tasty!
I'm gonna have to get myself one of those shakes. Everyone seems to be at them nowadays! Great riding sir.
