Straining rides

Good going Paul, I'll be putting some work in this week to get rid of over indulgence this weekend and then easing off next week.. see you soon
 
Not ridden for the best part of ten days, still feeling under the weather and work is just off the scale at the moment. If I am honest, I just want to get the ride over and done with as it will be one less thing to worry about. :)

Not as fit or as in shape as I intended to be but I am feeling capable of making the distance at a leisurely sub 10mph pace.

Paul, I'm sure you will be fine. My fitness is probably about OK, but I still have a back ache issue to manage. Doc has suggested stronger pain killers, which I will try over the weekend, but I probably will only ride 2 more times before the 6th.

yer - don't worry about it - it's not a race and they'll save you a beer ;) Think of it more as a moving pub crawl .... nothing to worry about on those! :D
I'm just sorry I can't be there with all of you ... :(
 
rode last night for the first time in 10 days (aside from a couple of spin classes) and boy did i suffer, went out a bit fast doing the first 10 miles in 30 mins and felt awful at 25 miles. got home in 2 hours 5 for 36 miles but feeling pretty rough. last 10 miles were through the rain, i really hope its sunny and not windy on 6th June!

The long range for the 6th looks surprisingly good, 20 ish. Riding 70 odd miles into a wet headwind is not a comfortable thought :(
 
Well, that's the final serious straining ride. 39 with a very blustery breeze to contend with. 2 stops to ease the back, and 15 ace speed. A chastening thought that this is just over half distance for next Saturday! Glass of wine will ease some of the pain now. Will probably do a short ride Tuesday and that's it, prep completed.
