I was in my LBS (Simon's Cycles in Cowbridge) this afternoon after work, to get a new chain and bell for my bike.
It is not the sort of shop you can go into browse, but the owner is always helpful and will often say "you can probably get it...
Target 36 miles (I think)

I haven't checked mine for a long time. It is definitely a lot higher than it used to be, but it was super low then; probably TOO low (low 30s). I will try to remember to check it one morning before I get up. I think it is probably 55-60 bpm now...

A favourite Speyside walk today, a circuit of Loch an Eilein from Inverdruie. Many dozens of frogs and toads on the paths, a great difficulty not to step on any of them but I think we managed. A pair of red throated divers on Loch Gamnha, only...
Can't believe how emotional I am about this.
First saw Laura Trott (as she was then) at London 2012 with my wife (she won the tickets in the draw), sometime near the start of that period when I started following cycling more seriously, on top of...
Yes, at that sort of level, you really have to have the very strong desire, as well as the ability. When it comes down to frac tions aof a second, not really wanting to be there any more will lose it.
I hope so to.
