As expected, these 2 weeks will all be about grabbing opportunities wherever I can.

Mrs GB out on her bike. Kids happy playing so I jumped on zwift for 35 mins.

5, 10, 10 (2r) @ last year’s HIM power, about 3.2 w/kg. Though that may be a tad higher in reality, as I think the faveros read slightly lower than the 4iiii.

I’d love to get that up closer to 3.5 if at all possible. But I’m not sure I will. We’ll see.

Hoping to get out early tmw for a few hours on the bike.

24km, in the Market Place having coffee. Got stopped by a family walking on the trails that couldn’t believe how beautiful it was. Spoke to them for about 10-12mins and completely forgot to pause my watch.

Who cares, it’s that kind of day.

Looks lovely up there.

We’re completely shrouded in sea fog at the mo. Was all day yesterday as well, despite being clear and sunny a few miles inland.

Hoping it burns off today though.

24km on the TT, not a planned session but couldn’t help myself with the sunny weather, 32kph ave. Wheels feel seem considerably smoother than the winter ones on the road bike - funny that

Spent about 2 hours of fuckery getting my bike off the turbo and somewhat road worthy

The rear TT brake wasn’t working.
When I tried to remove it, the brass centre was pretty much fused onto the frame lugs.
Ended up taking a hacksaw to it to get it off.

Then sodding about with gears etc.

All of that and the rear wheel was making a noise the whole way round.

Anyhoo

been to Lanza once for a weeks hols and went on one of those bus tours round the park - fair enough, spectacular and in awe of the big craters etc but all I could think about was hiring a bike and going off for a ride on those super sweet roads
