The Big Relec Bike Ride 2018
April News – Route, training and sponsorship updates
Spring is in the Air – April Target 600 miles
March didn’t go completely to plan. The weather could have been better and work got in the way too. Still managed 330 quality miles and raring to go now.
1 – 8th April– Away on holiday – Had a great time on the slopes but no cycling – Thanks to Neil at Fit-to-Ride for servicing the bikes and thanks for delivering them. Sadly the weather beat us on Sunday despite our best intentions.
9 – 15th April– More frustration with the weather and also things going on here in the office. Not able to get out as much as we would have liked. Away for weekend in Belgium and managed to get out for two 5km runs – haven’t done this in 4 years. Quads killing me. Still having problems walking downstairs 3 days on. Only 50 miles on bike, but next week looking good.
16 – 22nd April – This is more like it. Commuted every day and notched up 250 miles in 7 days. Met Lesley after work and started to get some hills in around the Purbecks. Couple of longer rides planned over the weekend, with a decent lunch thrown in hopefully.
23 – 30th April – What was I saying about the weather!! The temperature has dropped by 10 degrees. What doesn’t kill you makes you fitter. Managed to get a couple of commutes in and 2 rides over the weekend with Lesley. The temperature on Sunday’s ride was only 8 degrees and coming back up the sandbanks peninsula into a Northerly headwind made the final few clicks feel like an extra hill.
Roll on May!!
