Mixed week.

This week has been really productive, with some real quality sessions-up to max hr daily, and feeling like I am growing stronger daily. The week was capped by 3 1/2 hours on Sat am, a new route taken from a local sportive map. I knew when we went out that I was feeling a bit under the weather and it rained the entire time we were out. Sunday morning brought a sore throat and cough. Time to dig the Zinc and vit C out of the cupboard. Saturday's ride was also memorable for 2 puntures. Although I thought that I had got the flint fragment out of the tyre, the second tube went within a couple of minutes. I got home and after inspection, ended up binning the rear tyre as it was full of nicks, cuts and bits of flint.

On the plus side, all the bikes in the garage got a service and clean this weekend (even took a cassette to pieces, that's how thorough it was, and the single speed mtb went on ebay to make some room for my next planned purchase...
