Not the finest of weeks, a heavy schedule has meant that
I haven’t been able to get out every day or even most days. However, Friday was a decent ride and the
snow has gone, so hopefully no more endless indoor sessions.

Friday – Finally got some time to get out, the snow has
gone and day light is back once again so I thought it best to do a longish
one. I had a couple of routes in mind
but opted for a trip down to Stotfold to see the water mill and then back via
Shefford and the A600. All in all, a
nice ride, blue skies and the gloves stayed in the back pocket so I couldn't have asked for more. Racked up just over
40 miles in two and half hours.
Saturday – Just the mule run today a short ride into town
coming back with a full load of veg from the market. Not really proper training but it was nice to
go out for a ride with Amy.
HIT – I saw a program on Wednesday (Horizon) about the
benefits of high intensity training (HIT).
In short, benefits obtained from three extremely short (1 minute)
sessions of going mental on an exercise bike per week. I decided to give it a go on the basis that
all I have to lose is three minutes of my life and it’s an addition for me
rather than a substitution. I can’t
verify Mosley’s results scientifically but it feels like good value for money
despite my initial scepticism. I will be
continuing for a few weeks and see how it goes.
The Week in Stats
- Total Miles for the Week: 46.42m
- Longest Ride: 40.43m Bedford – Stotfold and back
- Hardest Sections: Mostly flat work this week

- Drink of the Week: Back with the green tea, this one really works for me
