Snowden

Gave the legs a rest (well the bits that do cycling anyway!) and climbed Snowden via Grib Goch on Saturday. Brilliant climb up along the ridge, still plenty of snow on the peaks, but gutted at reaching Snowden Summit. What a circus.

Felt good and fit throughout though - nice to know the cycling is getting me back towards some kind of pre-injury fitness.

Quick Moor ride

Quick 18m out to Ilkley and over the moor and back. Overdressed for the first time in ages!

Schedule

Having had a few muscle niggles and a heavy cold last week, I'm opting for a light week this week and a full-on week next week. Here's my schedule for this week:

Mon: Rest
Tue: Rest
Wed: 18m
Thur: 15m
Fri: Rest
Sat: Climbing Snowden!
Sun: Rest

The Dales

Excellent ride through the Dales today with JP (who coped really well with the serious hills!)

Brings my weekly miles up to the 100 mark which is OK for an under the weather week.

Suggestion for tomorrow

How about this for a 40 tomorrow?! (Well 37.72 actually!)

Some decent climbs though. Here's the route:

Silsden Keighly Loop

Had a rainy ride via Ilkley, Silsden, Keighly and Bingley Moor today. Used the iPhone app to track it. It worked great until it seemed to lose GPS signal up on the moor (it was pretty misty) so the data wasn't really that useful. Here's some data that i have salvaged:

Total Distance: 29m
Average Speed: 16.1mph
Fastest Speed: 39.97 mph
Climb: 1732ft

Aborted ride

Did a 10 mile loop tonight. Set out for 25 but the wind was gusting dangerously. Shame. Will fit in another ride tomorrow.
