Training and other stuff

10/9/2011

 
I didn't race this weekend and from what I was told racing was called off due to a very small turnout of riders and very ordinary conditions. I must admit to feeling quite flat this week and I think last weekend's "Race of Truth" had the last laugh. I decided that I would have a slightly easier week of training to allow for good recovery. I'm not sure if I succeeded as this afternoon my legs are feeling  sore after a good 80 km hit out this morning with Wes, of WestEnd BikeHub fame, in the Beechworth hills and coming home into a pretty decent head wind. We did see the local A Graders blast through Beecworth and after a fruitless attempt to catch them along the Beechworth - Wodonga road we settled back to our own pace. I am reliably informed the A Grade bunch clocked up a lazy 140 km on their journey   
I also have to thank Wes for supplying me with what will be part of the Perpetual Trophy for the Mt Buffalo Challenge. Now while we are not getting any new  times coming in I hope this will change as the weather improves or Jake is in the box seat to get the trophy. I also have it on good authority that a group of Melbourne Cyclists known as The Captain's Crew are coming up in November to have a crack at the Challenge.

Frid. Day Off
Sat. Gym and stretching  1h 30 min (increased all weights)
Sun. Chilt. Beech. Yack. Chilt. 82 km 3 h 08 min.      

Next weekend I am competing in the first Amy's Gran Fondo held on closed roads with 40 km on the Great Ocean Road.
I've put myself in the 30-35km group which should be perfect and there are a couple of really decent climbs involved.
This will be a very competitive event with the ride timed so it's pretty much going to be a race. I have a couple of members of the Captain's Crew to keep me company during the event, hopefully they give me a nice tow.
Have a look at the course profile @ Cycling Profiles, the ride also has UWCT qualifier status for 2012 World Masters Championships.
