Roller/Turbo winter training @ Herne Hill

Pah - Tuesday was 2 days ago. Sprints are probably the most bearable as its not relentless. Nice long recovery, then probably 45 secs max flat out.

I'm definitely too tired/got too much to do tonight, but really going to try to come again next week.

Yeah think i'm gonna skip tonight too. Have a good one guys and i'll be back next week in the pain cave ;-)

45 secs max flat out.

interesting!

^That didn't happen, mercifully.

What merciless delights are there in store this week? I lose track, but I'm guessing we're up to pyramids again?

I've missed loads and haven't been on the bike properly for 2 weeks. Worth it?
it is isn't it?

Yup.

Yeah i'm back again tonight, get the pain cave set up!

My track bike is in bits (again!) so i'm on the delightfully hipster Purple bike :-)

Oh fuck a duck.
Alright.

Qualifiers:
1) I only have 65 inches available
2) I don't have a turbo tyre

These aren't good enough as excuses are they?

No. Last time I came I was on a pretty shredded Refuse and you can spin FTW.

Please don't take this as an indication I'm coming tonight, I've got a pretty nasty cold this week so staying in, coughing and drinking scrumpy (full of vitamin C) is seeming infinitely more attractive...

If you don't want to come, don't, innit. I would say that it is worth coming along to, though. Even if you will be spinning like a madman and throwing shredded rubber all over the place...

(your tyre will be fine, no idea about the gear)

65" will be ok - just put on a decent resistance. Most people don't have specific turbo tyres - I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Yep, tonight is pyramids, or more specifically, recovery, so various forms of going hard, quick pause and back on it again.

You'll be fine, i'm bringing 83 GI's and a 1953 531 frame to the party. Denmark hill your ass is mine!*

*Note - there is a fair chance that Denmark hill's ass will not be mine but i'll keep you posted.

blah blah blah Ditchling on 84 blah blah blah Swains blah blah HTFU blah.... :P

Blah blah bike made of paper with more carbon than an F1 car blah blah i could float up a cliff face blah blah...

;-)

Just decided I am leaving work now, which means I'm not hanging around somewhere for the next two hours. Have fun.

I think that was a proper session.

I may have uttered "Oh Fuck" at one point.

Come next week, it'll be ace :D

What's on the menu this week?

Endurance, I think.

I'm out this week, I'm in Barnes house sitting. And I cannot be fucked with coming back from HH to Barnes after this.

But it's only 8 miles home! And it's mostly flat!

It's also Bodeans night.
(busted)

Ah yes! So it is. I had forgotten. I bailed on that for other reasons, but my love of suffering may have played a small role.
