Ellen D Love cycling too! Nothing compares, glad your back after 27 years. Cat 3 is amazing after so much time off. I'm still a novice cyclist @ 15 months.
I'm a competitive cyclist and ride for North Down CC in Northern Ireland. I'm just back after a 23yr lay off but have worked up to A3 Cat and have trained hard all year. Biggest regret was giving up the bike

Serious training today out on the club run - hard effort all round. 70 miles without stopping..ok, we stopped for a quick pee break but then straight back on it. Needed a run like that to gauge my form. Not bad, but room for improvement.

Turbo training in the clubrooms - just Alison and I. I took us on a hard interval session - Alison said she was ready to throw up at one point. Excellent effort. Legs like jelly afterwards.

Well done Natalie - 23 hours is an amazing time...our team did it in just over 29...so much tougher than we had planned but very proud of myself for completing what can only be described as an assault course hehe...
Ditto mate...bloomin amazing what we did yesterday x
We really wanted to get in by 5am but after a while that target became "Just get to Brighton". There are moments that I loved (For example the 1st night-time section that went through the woods, just me and Mum for a lot of it) But others that I would be happy to forget (Arguing with my Mum at 5am about walking pace-She was "marching like a demonic b***h", I was a "dawdling brat") But it was just the most amazing experience and something I feel honored to have been a part of. Still debating whether we can put ourselves through it again next year though! And in the meantime I'm contemplating doing a half-marathon this Sunday!

Commute home - would have been a lovely ride. wind on my back and dry roads but disaster struck in the form of a puncture and then the valve broke off my spare as I was pumping it up. Ah well, good excuse to phone the wife to come and collect me - early home and buns bought to enjoy with a cup of coffee.

Saturday morning club run. Great stop off in Portaferry for soup, sandwiches and a hot port. Great company with all the members of the club. Hard enough ride to get there and home - very windy and cold. Still, Rule 5 of the Veloluminati applies : 'harden the f*ck up'!!
