Etape 09 training blog. Training antics ahead of the Montelimar to Ventoux Etape 2009. Thursday, 11 June 2009. The weekend of 31st May 2009 we had a bunch of 5 out from the club, mostly in club kit, very fetching. We wanted a long medium paced ride so headed north to Garstang. And over the Trough of Bowland. Vicky / Dominic (first time out - but a top class fell runner) / Gaz. We clocked-up near 90 miles with 1,700m of ascent but must confess to a cafe stop in Whalley. 3 of us, Thomo. 05:00 up and eating...

Etape 09 training blog. Training antics ahead of the Montelimar to Ventoux Etape 2009. Sunday, 12 July 2009. Etape 2009 disqualification times. Just noticed the event timing on the French version of the Etape. Website. They're giving 10h 30m as a total disqualification. Time This is a whole hour more than last year. Over similar distance / ascent. See http:/ www.letapedutour.com/2009/ETDT/presentation/us/itineraire.htm. Noticed the temperature in Tarbes. Today at the finish, 35 degrees! My word it's hot.

Etape 09 training blog: The Rivington 100 (115) and Singapore
http://etape09-downsey.blogspot.com/2009/06/rivington-100-115-and-singapore.html
Etape 09 training blog. Training antics ahead of the Montelimar to Ventoux Etape 2009. Saturday, 20 June 2009. The Rivington 100 (115) and Singapore. Again, my optimism of being able to drive to south wales do the Dragon and back in the same day was unfounded. I was hoping to be sharing this experience with one or two of the others but it wasn't to be. The decision. I decided to ride from home to the start at Horwich. And started the climb over the back of Waddington. Fell, then the trouble started.

Etape 09 training blog. Training antics ahead of the Montelimar to Ventoux Etape 2009. Wednesday, 25 February 2009. Sod the cycling. I'm off diving. Don't know why but since the Cumbrian. Xmas Cracker I've been struggling for motivation on the bike. The weekend after the event did 38m on the Saturday then, and this is quite amazing, I got the MBX. Out on the S unday. And went up on Winter Hill to watch the Winter Hill Fell Race in the snow. We had about 10 from Chorley. Well to be precise, Marsa. Coffee ...

Simon's Continuing Running and Riding Adventure: Gear
http://rideandrunsimon.blogspot.com/p/gear.html
Sadly, I have a colour scheme for my gear. It started with my bike. It is red, black and white so I chose cycling gear to match. This led to running gear and now everything has to be mainly red and black. Its going to limit my choices when I buy a new bike. Kuota Kharma 2008, Ultegra, carbon frame. Mavic Ksyrium Elite Wheels. Ultegra compact with 12-27. Bike was setup by Dauphine Cycles. I also have a single speed Cinelli in white. 8211; dhb Finchdean Bib Cycling Shorts in red and black. 8211; I now wear...

Simon's Continuing Running and Riding Adventure: March 2011
http://rideandrunsimon.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 13 March 2011. We had over 4 minutes 'in the bank' as we started lap 2 but it was starting to hurt. My stomach was horrible due to the gels and maybe the clams I had last night. I felt I was hanging on and it wasn't surprising give I hit the half marathon point at about 1:46; my PB until the Brighton Half. I was delighted with my PB and it gives me a real chance of a 3:45 in Brighton. Position: 235 out of 661. Tuesday, 1 March 2011. Meon Valley Plod 2011. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Run: Meon Val...
