The weather has been great so I took a day out on the ekib along the (much flatter) <em>Downs Link</em> yesterday, with the aim of some much-needed training for London-Brighton and the Stratford sprint tri. The first 45 miles were just fine, despite some unexpected rain. The last 5 miles proved to be a totally different matter, however, as the final climb home ultimately assumed Alpe d'Huez-type proportions. With hindsight, the 2 pints of Stella Artois at the turnaround pub may well have proved a significant training error, but then we do all have to live sometimes ...

Do you have to learn another language to ride a bicycle? “it has stunt areas, technical downhill, fast berms and plenty of singletrack”

I struggle on my little hills on an actual paved path! I'd spent too much time off the bike and pushing for me to enjoy it!! Crikey, if that’s mountain biking then I’m not ready for it!!!

I am also trying to persuade the other half to sell my Garmin 201 and get one of those ones you have so i can do all those heart rate things. :) That sounds just fantastic, cant wait to get my bike to do all that stuff.
