Knee gate

Now its my turn to have hurty knees and boy do they hurt. The right knee has developed fairly acute bruising. Emergency physio session tomorrow has been booked. Guess this means more massage........

And so it goes on

Aram and I had some good riding on Saturday. Nothing heavy just about 40 miles on the ridgeway which was very enjoyable. Aram has some knee issues which appear to be clearing up. My knee issues appear to be starting! Painful right knee - physio tomorrow it is then.

Nature loving on the Downs

did a couple of 90 minute interval sessions in the Park on Thursday and Friday but it is driving me insane and I'm not that sure it is really accomplishing much other than giving me a false sense of security and tiring me out!!!!

Got a couple of really good long rides in over the last weekend just to prove that I can still do it - great weather so spent 6 hrs on saturday covering 60 miles and 6000ft of climbing. Went out for a 'short' 4 hour 40mile spin on sunday and managed to catch a couple of chaps 'd*gging on the downs'. You shold have seen the look on their faces as they dived for cover while pulling up their trousers. i've never been so offended in my life. Shocking. Terrible. Anti-social.

Ridgeway

Blasted from my Mum and Dads down the Ridgeway this weekend to a campsite. Got some good miles in. Not many hills but a chammy ride none the less. Didn't get pissed on either which was delightful! Knocked out about 100 miles....plenty more to come
