    Not sure whether this should be in tea stop or the bike forum… my plans for what looks like it could be a really nice bank holiday weekend certainly include riding a bike.

    What have the rest of you got in the offing?

    It’s off to sunny Wales for me on Saturday. I have a plan to do 80+ miles up through the Beacons to climb the Black Mountain and then across to climb the Bwlch and Rhigos.

    Sunday I think I’m gonna duck the group ride and head out on a solo ride, the group thing is hard work, more mechanicals, bonks and moaning than I can really deal with. I think I have been in the region of an hour slower over 80 miles with a group, and that’s not how it’s supposed to be!

    I need to get quality miles in as my tour of the Grande Alps is looming large; less than 4 weeks to go before Graeme Obree serves me my @rse on a plate over the Galibier etc – not sure him announcing he is going for the hour record again bodes well for me, but as he is my hero, it’ll be nice to see him in form.

    Saturday brings my first ride
    Saturday brings my first ride of a new route I’ve named the Torture 80. It is an adaptation of Reading CC’s Torture 40, but with an additional 40 miles to get to and from the route. It has a lot of evil climbs and manages around 2K metres of vertical gain, it’s gonna hurt!

    Sunday is shopping with missus DaSy and gardening etc.

    Monday, I’m leading a group ride on an 85 mile loop, it should be torture, but of a different kind to Saturday, this lot are wildly un-disciplined riders with lots of ego’s to contend with.
