To dispell any myths - he is indeed a she. Tut tut aren't you a bunch of stereotypers?
No seriously, I have been training this year but have ben dogged with injuries and sickness all throughout so I doubt I'll be giving you gents a run for your money- feel free to place bets but that would be a waste of cash in my eyes, crap endurance and mediocre sprinting are my current forte...hence the need for longer rides- Team Astanta my ass...! Trying to get the miles in to just get stronger base fitness is the plan and just to enjoy it again as working up to a race and then not being able to do it has been a massive blow and just been off the bike and not making gains since illness.
Weekends up at RP are much easier for me to get to - last time with my run buddy we started from London Bridge at 7:15 so early is not a problem (though that was very early by my standards)
TopCat1 - When is everyone meeting for this? Might be able to come along if I'm not already engaged.
Apologies ttcycle for the conclusion jumping, I'm usually a bit more cautious before assigning genders ro usernames.
RP this weekend would be out for me as I'm doing the FNRttC, but always up for a spin around the park usually (as long as it's not p****ing it down like now).
Mike, fancy coming down for a quick couple of laps of the park
Apart from Sheffield in a couple of weeks (if they can ever decide on a day) there aren't many other CC rides planned until the end of November
SD - fancy leading one in October?
