Best til last

Last day of 30 30 so good time for new personal best of 18.6km on level 18 cycle cross training mode and top speed meant top heart workout av bpm 141 while max was 154.
Total for month then is about 405km or 243milesish in old money. Does not include real bike miles which is not as many as last month due to using car for work, 2300 miles for work!

Totally sore left knee. Rest day tomorrow. Perhaps.

24 hours

Another 30 30 is about to bite the dust. Totals to be declared but much better than March's effort.

In all weathers

The advantage of having a gym standard exercise bike hits home when for the third day (night) in a row I have been plodding away in torrential rain, well I can see it through the workshop door, inside its pretty dry except for wet canines wandering in to see what I am up to.

Day 26 30 30 lvl 12 night ride 12.5 km av bpm 124 max 138 not bad distance considering 2x dismounts for lace being caught in pedals

Sore left knee

Going through the motions

Discovery that aches and pains are in fact some form of gastric bug meant that the last thing I wanted to do was cycle or be more than 2.3 seconds from the great white phone.

If it was going to be easy then everyone would do it principle along with just sit there and turn the pedals meant 12km of torturous pedalling and another day ticked off.

Yesterday seems so far away

So lack of time meant no posting yesterday, it also meant cycling at 11.20pm to complete 30 30

20 mile bike ride on R200,freezing cold but gloriously sunny morning riding with bike buddy for first time, interesting especially when trying to work out who should go on the inside when cars appeared. Got bounced by couple on tandem, they were on a mission, 140 miles at least today. Made my 20 miles in 1 hour 6 mins seem paltry.

30 30 lvl 14 hill training 11.3km

Man test

 Fitness and stamina test. Carry these fence posts

 up the bonsai mountain

to where we are putting up a new fence. Took a while. 30 posts including a gate post 18 trips. Man test passed.

Lazy rider

Felt like crap getting on bike tonight and scores on the doors reflect sore knee, sore arse, poor soundtrack choice and lack of effort. 30 30 Hill training level 12 10.3 km

Sore left knee even when not riding

Night owl

Late night blast on lifecycle, took things a little easier today both knees are sore, so night ride lvl 14 13.4 km av 110 max 127

Get on it!

Thought I would have a gentle session on the lifecycle tonight, ended up doing 17.3km in 30 mins don't know what my heart was doing as I forgot to press the buttons. I think it must have been working ok as I didn't fall off.

Very sore left knee.

On the road again

 R100 was beaten into shape, literally with a hand axe and taken for a ride while the sun shone.

5 miles there, and then 5 miles back. Managed to avoid killing myself, zombie pedestrians and throwing R100 over hedge for being slow and uncomfortable.

All being well tomorrow R100 will be back on the road as he should be and not carried in the back of Vic.
