I need to get back to regular Zwifting. Slightly under the weather and busy, taking its toll on my enthusiasm.

Don't forget to check your email if you've had a break from Zwift, I've just been given a 60 free trial code to activate by 15th July.

Average will be 74 miles a day, with a high of 87 (Day 3) and a low of 54 (Day 12), although that day does do the big climb that you'll remember from Etape Loch Ness, so it's only fair that's a shorter day.

Brilliant. I did it in 2010 with my brother. We B&B'd it and carried our luggage but it was an awesome experience. Like you, we took 14 days. We made a website for it. I'll dig out the link later in case there is anything helpful in it for you.

I just let membership roll. I've not had more than a few weeks off in several years

Found it. Not looked at it for ages. Ian and I had only been riding about a year when we did it.

Hoping to go on a few days tour soon with the missus in Norfolk, should re invigorate my cycling interest

I've managed to finally turn things around and have a few weeks without getting ill. Trying to find the time to increase overall volume at the minute. Maybe I'll go outdoor this weekend? Missus wants to do a trail run for exercise - so I may as well take her somewhere and do a ride while she's prancing around.

Sounds like a plan

More like I ran out of excuses

Is that triggered by pollen like hay fever?

I have been sniffling and wheezing for about a month now. I thought that I was coming down with a cold but nothing more than a runny nose and a sore throat has developed. Very odd! I might even have a mild dose of Covid? I have caught it a few times and am up to date with the jabs so I probably have enough immunity to keep any further infections mild.

I am beginning to think that I did have Covid, or something similar because those symptoms finally went after about 6 weeks despite pollen levels still being pretty high.

I have been feeling a lot better and getting a bit of ooomph back.

I'd got a chit from Mrs M to go out with my club this week on their monthly Sunday-morning jaunt to Llangollen and back. But the main fella who runs the ride can't make this weekend so is pushing it back to the following weekend (which I can't make). I think I'm going to go out and ride the route on my own, which will mean I can start as early as I want (and I'll get better training without any wheels to shelter behind). It'll be just over 200km, headwind out / tailwind back, probably a bit wet... character building!
