Kept the momentum
going this week….
Despite the big
ride on Sunday (and the scrumpy!), I got out for a brisk 90 mins at around
130-135 bpm on Monday, Tuesday AND Wednesday.
Felt great.
However, highlight of the week (well, the
cycling highlight anyway!) was a hard Tour De La Forêt Nouvelle on the Thursday. I was supposed to be catching a ferry to France on Thursday evening from Portsmouth
so I decided to get down there early and spend a few hours thrashing around in
the New Forest. I found a great 46 mile route with a mix of
quiet lanes and offroad trails and decided to give that a spank on the MTB.
Really hot day with
some surprisingly big climbs but with frequent relief splashing through deep
fords! Have to keep your wits about you
mind, wild horses and deer around every corner and behind every bush.
I rolled back into
Brockenhurst well under 3 hours later covered in flies and celebrated by
throwing myself in the river to cool down!
Then off to my
brother’s house nearby, quick shower, change and food, then off to France for
four days on the p**s in Le Mans…..
