Training Update - Week 14

Yes! new weekly mileage record set at 180 miles (6 days though - took Easter Sunday off) longest single ride was 30 miles.
One puncture this week - back wheel (yes the very same tube that i swapped out last week) - Thanks to all those people who completely ignored my plight as i was struggling to get the tube off, repaired and back on again in the drizzling rain with a broken finger! - Have learnt a lesson though and have stocked up again on spare tubes.

See the world - become a cyclist! No but seriously pounding the tarmac around the countryside really lets you appreciate nature (and the lack of decent road surfaces in Norfolk), and so i thought i would start a new feature called Naturewatch. Yesterday I saw 3 grey squirrels, 4 rabbits and a young deer plus numerous pheasants - will keep a tally of wildlife spotted this week and will report back anything unusual!

On the professional circuit Discovery claimed 5th and 6th places in the Tour of Flanders on Sunday and the Tour of the Basque country kicked off yesterday with Paris Roubaix xoming up this weekend - its all go now!

finally a quote i noticed on a cycling forum last week:

"Cycling doesn't get easier, you just go faster"
