Training - Winter Road Rides

Meh, I'm working that Saturday

No worries though, hopefully do the next one after this.

can't make the 3rd

can't make the 3rd

I assume this has been moved to an unknown date so I don't have to get up?

Neil! Directions to your house? and a time so I can prepare the alarms.

Where do you live Drowsy;? I can meet you somewhere, I'll be going to the post office for 8 and making my way to Neil's for around 9.

It's all good now I have an address, I may still get lost though.

45 miles into a perpetual headwind... quiet night in with a chicken and leek pie beckons! Good efforts all round from the polo diehards...

I went straight to bed and have only just got up. Feels good.

Time to eat!

Some other training regimes... check 2.48 out...

Road rides through the winter are hopefully going to be every fortnight, so the next one will be Saturday 17th December.

As a Brucie Bonus we'll be doing occasional offroad excursions, starting this Sunday morning from Chorlton at 10am. We'll do the secret trails around the water park and hack our way as far as Flixton before hitting Arc Cafe for bacon/vegan butties. Not tough elevation-wise, but I assure you you'll be exercised after a couple of hours or so in the gloop. Route to follow.

Once we're offroad ready we'll move into the Peaks for some proper bad ass work...

Sunday 9.45am Chorlton (Mine or Bowling Green pub at 10am)**

I'm up for the next road ride but I'm heading south on Sunday for a Monday cremation.

Don't suppose these could mainly be Saturdays to prevent taking people away who might otherwise polo, really struggling for numbers on Sundays at the moment, will try & make a ride sometime soon though

Road rides are Saturdays - however MZA and I talked about some occasional offroad action and I'm away until Sunday, hence this one-off ride. It'll ultimately only be me and him anyways, but was doing the decent thing by offering it out there.

In summary - don't ride elsewhere when you coulda, shoulda, woulda played polo.

If I had a bike I would go off-roading it, but if there's polo about on Sunday it's another matter.

coolio, I'll let you off with a warning then

i'd love it, but finding myself either working sundays, or working nights so sleeping most of sat, also don't have a road bike or an mtb

Today MZA and I got right royally covered in sh*t during a three hour perambulation of the water parks area, even managing to find some hill work.

Next week it's back to the road riding with a 50 miler:

^ Saturday is the only day I can do - another trip to see a Santa on Sunday...

I remember setting my alarm times for a ride this morning but judging my when I actually woke up, I think I forgot to actually activate the alarms.

I'd carbo-loaded with a curry on Friday night too...

Anyone free and willing to tackle a marathonian effort in t'hills on 22nd Jan? The route posted at top of the page looks pretty nice (was it??) or I've been plotting for a while to et the train/drive out to disley and tear about the green 'tween there, goyt, cat and fiddle, buxton way. Of course, I'm open to sugestion by those who like organising something proper...
