1 Feb. 50k Puerto Calera, Yaiza, Timanfaya National Park, Mucha Blanca, Asomada, Puerto Calera.

Lanzarote is a great place to cycle. Smooth roads, well graded hills, sunshine, light traffic and everyone drives courteously. Very hard to come back to Cornwall and do a ride on mucky lanes, with grey skies and numerous close passes today.

Sadly nothing added to Jan total. Now in full training for The Hell of Ashdown Forrest so have been heading out of East London for the hill to North of Chigwell and then across the Debden to the climbs into Epping Forrest. First 12km and last 17 are flat maybe accounting for 100m of climbing, so the central part of the ride is a decent workout. Weather has been mild and dry, if windy.

Will need to get more rides in this month including THOAF! Hopefully more to follow and this is an interim update.

8th Feb

81km and 982m climbing
