Training has really stepped up now and it's been a pretty hard week. I haven't done as many short rides as I'd like but I did 86 miles with of 3 of the girls and Si on Saturday, followed by 50 odd miles on Sunday, a bit of turbo training on Tuesday and then a ride with the Sky boys on Wednesday. The ride with the boys was really, really hard work, as they glided along I really struggled to keep up. We did 57 miles out into Surrey, up Box Hill and back, I wanted to stop at Leatherhead and catch the train back but they wouldn’t let me! I didn’t really enjoy it but I think it was very good for me.
Tomorrow I have a 3 hour ride planned and on Sunday I have a 90 mile sportive, basically, except for Glastonbury, the next 6 weeks weekends are not my own!
All in all I think I am on top of things with regards distance but I definitely need to get my speed up, the elimination times came out and apparently they aren’t very generous.
