(to give it context) that particular section is a long one so its not often I take the exact route however .... i have checked a shorter section from the area ..... i have been round that way 32 times and this particular ride would be just inside the top 10, It is fairly tight at the top though , so im pretty happy. | ||

Walk your talk Member 5, 25557 posts Administrator | well , I am training daily but have postponed the running until i am back at my 'race weight' (under 75kg) i couldnt work out if i had a pulled an ass muscle or was getting sciatica (which i have never had befor) from the hefty plodding i was doing .... i am now doing alternate cycling with rowing. anyhoo , i was starting to think i had long covid or somthing but i am feeling better this week JM , i have entered yet another midweek madness MTB race .... it is next month and i am not ready but thought i would just turn up and get rinsed by some old women n stuff. apparently there are usually 5 rounds over the summer so any that you fancy i will be going to , even though i get up at 5am (untill i fall off and break something) www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/details/239360/Midweek-Mad... | ||

Walk your talk Member 5, 25557 posts Administrator | yea, its far too long for me to go without doing some mass participation type events , luckily i had the virtual rowing last year which was excellent. I have been feeling pretty grim recently, so much so that i have only managed 4 x 500 on the rower on the positive side, my diet has been great and i have been listening to some super audiobooks while driving the wagon ...i am now up to a total of 480 hours total listening | ||

I’ll check the dates and see what I’ve got on with work (we have governor meetings on Wednesdays) and kids’ cricket. Should be OK to do at least one I would hope though. | ||

Walk your talk Member 5, 25557 posts Administrator | I have been avoiding updates as I dont like to admit any weakness there is somthing wrong with my back and i cant row and running has stopped .... anyhoo , i have been doing mainly mountain biking as that doesnt aggrivate it ..... i cant seem to get a decent weights session going at home so i have decided to join my local gym , I need to strengthen the whole lower back area to support my FAT ED LEVEL GLASS BACK OF SORTS. its amazing how things can change with just one fall off a bike at 5am !! imagine being 70+ and having a fall ! its no wonder people never fully recover and end up dead. | ||

You speak the truth my friend, The last cold I had made me realise why Covid/Flu etc is so hard on the elderly. Don't get sucked into any ego machismo in the gym......did you know C2 sell a BIKEERG  Looking forward to more frequent Boarsome updates. | ||
