Hey Toks,

Cheers

I thought Adesanya was a popular name there is someone at my work with that name.

Anyway well done on a good race.

All the best

Training is going ok, had a good week last week, went fast for the first time for ages on the club run with Simon and some other guy.

During the week now I can only really turbo train so am hoping this will be enough intensity and then get the longer miles in at the weekend.

I was thinking that in February we should start thinking about doing 80km at race speed to get the body used to the pace. If we do this in a reasonably small group then we will be forced to take turns on the front and this will be good training.

I will think about a structure and place we can do this. Maybe on one of the RR circuits near Newchapel or South Nutfield, this means that if we drop someone (more likely when you drop me) they can get back on the next time around.

What do you reckon?

Cheers

wow you boys sound like you are putting in some good efforts at the moment. I got a turbo just before Xmas but have only used it a couple of times. Slack... am really up doing lots of races next year.

i would be up for some fast sessions soon.

are you both out on Saturday??

It would be good to have a regular session of hard work.

Just doing reliability rides at the moment. Need to get a bit faster but hope Majorca will help with that.

Cheers

If you guys fancy doing something this Saturday on one of the circuits then that is fine by me, although I don't really want to ride 90miles like I did last Saturday as it screwed me for the reliabiltiy ride the day after.

So, how about we meet up halfway between East Grinstead and Coulsdon. I was thinking we could meet up outside the Newchapel Village Hall and practice on that circuit. We could do 10 laps or so at race speed and then we could pootle over to Wyevale Garden Centre for a cup of tea, or you could come around to mine and I can get the wife to make the tea.

I think that Newchapel is about 40 mins out of Coulsdon so I could meet you at say 10.15am. This gives you a chance to drum up more interested riders at Coulsdon who are intending to go on the club run etc. We could just ride it like a race and if people get dropped it should be fine as Newchapel is a short circuit and they can therefore get back on the next time around.

Anyone interested or would you prefer to wait until a bit later in the year?

We can but that does me in as it is an hour each way for me to get to CSS. Ah, ok I will do it means that I will get done in on the RR on the Sunday again.

Ok don't sweat it! why don't you just meet us on route. Its quite tricky to coordinate when everyone lives so far away

Oh Joy. Still january and already we'll be doing 25mph av on the club run!
