Steve - I am going to give running a miss tonight and get on the turbo...
how about next week when it warms up getting the lights on the mtbs?
June i think, till end Aug... will prob. have to join Clevedon CC. to take part, i think its a £5 for the year (cover insurance etc).
Thanks, will try and sneak off a bit early on tuesdays so I can get down there from yate. When do they kick off?
hey jon, im considering doing the whole 'season' (10 weeks, i think) this year as ive got a few more hours in the week to just get out for a ride as well, as opposes to just a tuesday eve. etc etc.
will let you know nearer the time.
dogs. no thanks.
These stories are making me unsure of getting a border collie, am planning on getting one to drag me out running in all weathers!
Anyone in this area going to do the tt's that Fringe spoke about last summer, near clevedon. 10 tt, I did 28minutes (having made a wrong turn and coasting the last km or two because I didnt know the way...amateur!!!)
Would try that DaSy, but it makes a mess of Mrs. Si and Dear Daughters TV Habbit!

You on Twitter now Milney!!!
www.twitter.com/jimmythecuckoo will get you following me.
We need to start Tuesday night jogging again when the pavements allow.
Yes mate, Tweeting away!
I am up for the running, hopefully get back at it on Tuesday 19th Jan if the snow and ice has gone!
On the note of turbo, I have been forced off mine................ can anyone beat this............ no problem getting past Mrs Si, no problem with the neighbours but our "new" puppie will not have it! barking and generally going mad, have tried everything but she will not have it!.......... extra spin class maybe?

I had very similar; my new rescue dog, a Patterdale, is certifiable. He races round me on the turbo, and keeps looking like he is about to stick his head through the spokes! On the rollers he is worse, and tries to get in between the front and rear rollers, which I must say I find a tad off putting...
The simple answer I found was just to close him out, turn up the music and drown out his whining.
I mananged a set of 2x20's at 280w on Saturday, so things aren't as bad as I thought! I'll build back up to 300w over the next 2 or 3 sessions hopefully.
Hmmm.... Not really sure what to suggest! I always worry that my dog will get his tail caught in the spinning wheel or something! He is always lurking around when I am on it, the nosey sod!
I haven't been out for several weeks now. The week before Christmas I got swine flu, and have only just started a return to training in the last 7 days.
I have clocked up about 12 hours turbo time, and have been using the time to build on my zone 2 work. I'm feeling ready to start on some 2 x 20's this weekend, but fear my power will be well down. I was doing 2 x 20's at 300w before, so I am scared to see what I am capable of now. I'll maybe kick off at 280w and see how that goes, though if that is too hard I'll be devastated!
how'd you get on in the 10?
been properly sketchy round here, haven't done anything other than a commute since new year's day and i ended up on my arse on that one...
It wasn't a good time at all (34.50) but well pleased to be back at it, haven't done a TT for approx 17 years. I am nearly 36 now and was 3 stone heavier than in my younger days!
Just going to keep pushing on with the training and see if I can get some strength back in my legs. On the Turbo as I write this (Friday night at 8.15), hoping to get out an the mountain bike tomorrow as well.
