    Speedy weekend for me. Yesterday was my last TT of the season - a 10 mile vets race with a full field and some (non vet) reserves. 25.12 for me with average power of 246w for 2nd woman and 1st vet behind one of the reserves who is 18 and rode the junior road race in last year's world championships. I'll take that as a win!

    Then today's instructions from my coach were 3 hours hard. I took the road bike but did a TT style effort on biggish roads. I think it's my fastest ever average pace (19.6mph) for a solo road ride.

    My legs aren't happy now though, and I'm glad I've got 2 easy days coming up!

    Windy and rainy today so resorted to cycling indoors at the gym.
    Thought I would try my Garmin Edge's FTP test out of curiosity (weirdest FTP test format I've ever seen!) but with no cooling fan I rapidly overheated and couldn't keep my HR down to a sustainable level so abandoned the test and just did my own thing.

    Didn't matter that the gym has shut their sauna due to COVID, I created my own.

    Chilly morning (I had forgotten how cold it feels on a bike with the temps in the high 50's) and humid but a good ride!

    I have been so busy this week:/ only got a short 8 mile ride in the other day. Feels strange, since I have ridden 4-5 days a week for the spring and summer. 🚴🏻‍♂️😱

    I cycled to work today as I had to sort some things out in the office. I used to do it every day but it was my first time since march. It might be the last one before next spring too, the way things are going. Short and easy, but a nice change to the usual WFH routine.

    Been a difficult week for cycling (cold, wet, windy, rubbish weather forecasting...) but ended on a high note.

    Needed to do some climbing for my monthly goal but wanted to do a nice ride too. Parked near a hill that is perfect for training, did a lovely 25 mile loop in beautiful countryside and then finished off with three hill repeats up the 500' climb of Box Hill.

    Had fun racing a motorbike down the hill and won! He was rubbish in the corners and gravity gave me wings. (Released my inner silly big kid.....)

    112 miles for the week, 547 for September.

    Hilly ride with my OH today (was meant to be a club ride but they got suspended while the club checks the new local lockdown rules and rewrites it's risk assessment). Windy and cold but we managed 110km at just over 26kph on a hilly route which was pretty decent. And takeaway pancakes on a bench in Pateley Bridge.

    There won't be much exciting in the next week - turbo all the way with a FTP test and a 5 minute test.

    Was running out of time to complete my Strava gran fondo and climbing challenges for September so killed two birds with one ride. Tried out a lovely new course in the Surrey Hills and along Surrey/Sussex border - really pretty, challenging but not so much that it was torture. Didn't seem to have a lot of energy today so took it fairly steady - 64 miles at 15mph with just over 3,000' of climbing. Will definitely do this course again.

    40 hours of riding in September and 629 miles.

    Countryside is starting to look autumnal. View of the North Downs including the cycling mecca of Box Hill and it's showing its chalk underpinnings (part of the reason this part of England makes some excellent dry white wines).

    Totally behind on this thread, but I'll still update my monthly result:
    10 bike commutes, two of them with "extended" rides home, for a total of 293.9km in September.
