Let's not knock it, science [/linguist]

What I'd really like to do right now, is rub my face in a giant pillow made of halva.

[Oliver]Which puns?[/Oliver]

are we still thinking swains this week?
(i might ask cliveo if he's available...)

Yup. Not sure if that'll be just a few reps followed by the usual Regents Park burn-up, or whether to go for full on Swaintoux-style hell. Thoughts?

either way will lead to a hot bath, candles and enya for me.

It's not that bad! I'd like 3 goes at Swains and then ten miles round the park, please.

in.

^^ sounds cosy, but if I ride tomorrow, and then I'm suppose to ride sunday, will be better leave the knee rest with just some swimming.

I double checked the SSTC route on Sunday morning; especially to see how it was after a night of heavy rain.

It was a bit treacherous, and it just fucks me up more than any other route I've done recently. By the end of the second climb/surprise section, I was strapped up in the hell cell. Lots of horses and dogwalkers, but they're polite if you're polite. Same can't be said for 4x4s on twisty narrow lanes.

When I got home, my lower back was aching, and slightly weirdly, my stomach muscles were all tender to the touch.

Bastard headwind on the return meant the 25-30mph section was only 22-27mph :(

^^ so, a later start with one or two hours of more sleep is what are you trying to suggest?

(but this is not the right thread for discuss that)

yeah. i'm in.
are you on tnrc or the sstc?

I shall be sstc-ing this week, no TNRC due to some kind of interview thing Wednesday morning somewhere in Westbourne Park (and an unfavourable weather forecast)

the weather is making me doubt tuesday as well.

No excuse not to be Dunwich-by-daying it on Saturday then is there ;)

but then i'll be screwed for sstc....
i'm old!

good luck Tom.
I am dying from yesterday, not the muscles but a massive headache!!! weird...

I thought I was feeling fine, until I got up from my desk at 3 for a late lunch and my legs refused to co-operate.

-1. 'Orinoco Flow' always sounded like a monthly metaphor to me.

it's alright, i don't really listen to enya.
