Off the bike for ten days....

[Deleted member 35268]

Hi

Due to my bike not being allowed to go on holiday, I was unable to ride for about 10 days.

I average about 100 miles a week, riding almost everyday, usually at about 18mph average, with 3000-4000 feet of climbing.

Having stopped for this time, I am unable to get the speed I had before the break.

I can't believe the dramatic falloff I am experiencing.

I plan to ride into work the whole week (7 + 7 miles) and do 3 or 4 15 miler lunch rides.

I guess it will just take a week or two to get back to where I was.

(Did I mention I did nothing but eat and drink on holiday)

I put a stone on in weight over Christmas week with no cycling and takes 6 weeks to take off again in New Year when I resume, easy to put on, hard to take off
