    hey sorry i had no credit to reply to your text. bit of a mixed weekend for me - did 2 hard days totalling 115km, but blew out 2 tubes on the swords spin and ended up in a ditch one of the times. then on sunday came off my bike and made **** of my elbow hands and leg. so prob tale a few rest days now. i see you' ve been out again regularly - thats great - consistency is the key!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 639 ✭✭✭Acoustic

    A sat or sunday morning would be best for that. or if you can free up 2 and half hours straight after work. just go spend the time on the road, dont worry about speed
