The White Harte, can you let me know if you are coming, at the moment it is Paul Hone, Stuart B and myself. If you are coming please confirm so we know whether to wait for you or not. It would be good to see you.

Guys what do you reckon. I just spent three hours on a train as it ran into a tree. Is it likely to calm down by this evening?

Cheers

Met office is saying no - still 45mph+ this evening

I did 2 hours yesterday lunchtime and it was only half this strangth and I got BURIED! As well as blown all over the road

Is it worth the risk? In January? No it ain't, turbo for me tonight

[siwickm]

Awww, have not been on the bike since Saturday, ok, I will motivate myself to get on the Turbo tonight. Chaingang is orf.

Cheers

Forecast is less wind and no rain this evening.

I cycled to work today to Reigate and thought it was OK. I think the wind is worse if you cycle to the city.

I've got the inlaws coming round so am definately still up for it.

If somebody wants to bail out, I think they should say by 4.00pm

[George]

you bunch of jessies I'm out doing my secret training

[huw williams]

I know its boring on the turbo but try this, it's a fun session on cold winter evenings in january and the time flys past.

O/UT = Over Under Threshold (a heart rate which fluctuates slightly a few beats above and below your threshold or TT Heart Rate)

O/UT PYRAMID

10 mins warm up
1 min @ O/UT
1 min @ EASY SPIN
2 min @ O/UT
2 min @ EASY SPIN
3 min @ O/UT
3 min @ EASY SPIN
4 min @ O/UT
4 min @ EASY SPIN
5 min @ O/UT
5 min @ EASY SPIN
4 min @ O/UT
4 min @ EASY SPIN
3 min @ O/UT
3 min @ EASY SPIN
2 min @ O/UT
2 min @ EASY SPIN
1 min @ O/UT
1 min @ EASY SPIN
10 mins warm down

Total - 1hr 10mins

*The O/UT intervals start from when you start to ramp up the pace, not when you reach the Threshold heart rate - take about 30-45 secs to build up to it on each interval.

When I'm in the middle of the 4-5-4 bit I always feel like giving up cycling
