Tell us about your weekend ride

It wasn't a speedwork session - it was an exception to my norm of training outside. What I meant was that I typically use the turbo for speedwork and only every now and then will I do a long ride on it.

"turbo where I do high cadence sub 30 sec spins and 3 - 5 min max efforts" I'd do less of this and aim for longer efforts. I only do short stuff if I'm having a crack at a late season 10 or something.

How much longer than 4hrs are your long rides? MSRs a long way..

183 miles so it's not exactly a light pedal. Longest ride this year is 8 hours but have plans to do a few all day rides between now and MSR to make sure mentally and physically have spent a similar length of time in the saddle. Longest ride last year was 140 odd miles which was part of my LEJOG route and that was one day of 8 consecutive centuries. I know MSR is a big step up but rightly or wrongly replicating the training regime from last year.

Looks like I need to get the turbo out this afternoon! (it's pissing it down here)
