Training 3-5 May 2008

We had some good weather over the bank holiday weekend, finally. With the rapeseed in full bloom, the two of us managed to cover most of South Cheshire with rides out to Peckforton, Marbury, Wrenbury, Crewe and Church Minshall. Saturday was a particularly wonderful day as a great ride was followed by an ever greater football match. It was Nantwich Town FC vs. Sheffield FC for promotion to the Unibond Premier Division. Nantwich won 4-1 on penalties after a 2-2 draw and added extra time. Nerves were stretched to the limit. Well done you Dabbers!

Our fitness levels have been getting better. We are not so concerned with our legs managing to go 60-80 miles a day. Instead we are concerned that our backsides won’t be able to handle it! Bungee strap a pillow to the seat? Stand half of the time? We are open to suggestions! The forecast for this week looks great, so at least one of us will be riding as Steve (The One Man Peloton) is off to Athens. Maybe he will find Cyclus, the Greek God of Cycling, who can offer some wisdom.
