Then I cycled back home. Then I ate.
Tomorrow I'll try and do an intense cycling ride up my usual 25 per cent climbs in deep countryside and hopefully work on the boats some more, if I have anything left in me.
You know, this boating lark is a bit of fun. Nothing like cruising slowly down the canals here once you've trained really hard on your bike. The girls in the bank have even said they'll join me on board so...............

In your dreams zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Re: New Bike Computer

Yes, I do very intense training on the bike. I'm a power rider and like to be inspired by Miguel Indurain who's the only Spanish cyclist who was an ace time-trialer as well as a decent climber.
I read a lot about Miguel and used to live in a town very close to his own, near Pamplona.
However, I see a lull in my training till I can get these boats sorted out. I don't see how I can hold down my job, work on the boats, weight train once a week and ride my bike hard all in one go.
Still, soon as I finsih the boats I'll be back on track.

Not according to the hundreds of riders that I know in the Black Country.

And he doesn't tell the truth. He hasn't got two pennies to rub together, and now he's playing Captain Pugwash on his fleet of barges. Ho effin' ho.
