My main aim this year is not to break any bones before the big day

How's everyone's training going?

I've managed to get a few commutes in this week - 18m with over 1300ft of climbing for the round trip, but I've not put in any long rides yet

Not even started training yet, only done 100 bike miles this year so far, in my defence I am concentrating on training for VMLM, and will swap my training at the start of May, my aerobic base will be ok, it will just be the bike legs

photoset you will be fine :-)

Have managed 2 x 22 miles in the last week and tomorrow will be in saddle most of the day but hardly any miles covered as at BC Ride Leader Training Day (am on the training side not being trained).

Will start to gradually increase the miles now - have entered a local 75 miler on 5th May.

Summer rules for club rides start tomorrow so that will be 55-60 miles on a weekend, though I won’t do every week.

I’ve got a Tenerife trip in May and we’ve got a long ride in June.

I did my 1st group ride today. Joined the local bike shop/ club social ride. Everyone was really lovely. Even the car driver when I fell off at the traffic lights in front of them. 😳

Oh no are you ok?

Our ride was wet and cold and therefore cut short

I'm fine. I just misjudged the speed and toppled sideways. It was a way to make an impression at the club! :-)

1step2far you are not the 1st, and won't be the last pretty much everyone forgets, or fails to unclip at some point, it happens to the most experienced on occasion, no one laughs in front of you, although I have been known to have a little chortle later on
