Training Update - Week 13

164 miles covered this week, longest ride at 36miles.

Feeling that I am getting quite obsessional now as i cleaned my bike again this week plus changed the back inner tube as the valve had got bent and so was not inflating (bit of a problem!)

Aren't car drivers muppets? - Nearly got up-ended yesterday when got overtaken by a vehicle towing a trailer who then had to take avoiding action when a car pulled out in front of us both from a side road just prior to the main T-junction. Anyhow managed to keep on going, and endeavoured to make my views known to all within earshot yet earnt no more than a few glares, hand signals and loud retorts.
On the more positive side I am feeling good about both my cycling and stamina and now with the longer evenings and especially the Easter break will take the opportunity to grind out a few longer rides as well as keeping on upping the mileage anyway.

Other cycling news:-
Alberto Contador (DSC) triumphs again in the Castilla y Lyon Stage Race and leads the UCI Pro Tour at least for now (I guess that this will all change once we get into the classics next week.

On the track Chris Hoy, Bradley Wiggins, Victoria Pendleton et al did good for Team GB with a combined 7 gold medals plus others giving us top position in the medals table at the world Track Championships in Majorca.

Finally Happy Easter to all my readers - not being a major fan of chocolate might enable me to keep the pounds off and the wheels spinning that bit further/harder.
