July Cycling Challenge

well I am obviously hooked, Bought my padded cycling shorts, a big pot of sudocreme and thought I would just have a ten minute cycle to see how it felt with them. Anyhow 1hr 20 mins later I had done 11 miles with hardly any soreness and a great big grin

THAT"S GREAT! The shorts make a difference. And you are probably over the worst part anyways.

Good to hear!

very excited I joined the gym today, to help really kick my fitness up a level First thing i did was joined a spin class, whoop whoop exhilirating

I'm not here to make excuses, I just didn't want you to think that I've given up. I've got a respiratory infection and haven't been able to power through without breaking into coughing fits.

I was always told "if it's above the neck, it's okay to train - if it's below, take time off and get it right, and work your way back into training gently - a couple of days extra TLC of yourself could save a fortnight or more of misery, or worse!"

24 miles today.

666 for the month. Hmm, that doesn't mean anything, does it? :devil:

manged a measly 3 miles today, my legs felt like lead

30 miles this morning totaling 243 for the month. Did some HR zone training in zone 2 keeping my HR at 72% of max or less.

Riding in support of the Wounded Warrior Project on Saturday. Looking forward to it.
