The Alz Bike Challenge. Monday, 28 February 2011. A Morning in Hell! I entered Hell of the Ashdown for the weekend and as promised here is the post event report. Alas it is a sorry report. Crossing the start mat at approx 9:07 am, not even 100 metres down the road and my saddle slips and is uncomfortable pointing skywards. A quick curse and out with the tool kit. Levelled off, tightended up and on the road again, my fellow starters in the 9:07 bunch already well ahead. So I turned round and made my way b...

Etape 2010 training: January 2010
http://etape2010-training.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Etape du tour 2010 - My training log. Sunday, 31 January 2010. Hell of the Ashdown Lite (70km). Today I intended to get out early and watch some of the riders taking part in The Hell of the Ashdown. However I spent so much time faffing around fitting my computer that I didn't set off until gone 12. I would have probably faffed even longer but my wife said, "what happened to the days when you would just get on a bike and ride? So I'm sure this is nothing compared with what we will face in the Etape or ind...

Welcome to my blog. This is to record 12 months of training to get myself ready to cycle the 2009 Etape Du Tour in France. Sunday, 5 July 2009. Got up at 6:30 and was out of the door by 7:15 for my last long ride before the Etape. I wasn't sure how far or where I was going but I headed towards Kingston. Ed had decided that I was going too early (and I don't blame him) so I was on my own. During the ride, my cycle computer went dim a few times. As soon as I got home, it went completely. Thankfully...Just ...
