Cycling 54:45 [3] 23.5 km (25.8 kph) +410m
ahr:159 max:177 rhr:80 slept:8.0
It was the first sunny day in ages so I decided to get out on the bike early(ish). I headed over to Leek where Stage 3 of the Tour of Britain has its first categorised climb. I'm planning to watch it so I thought I'd scout about a bit to see what the terrain is like and where might be good to watch...
It's tough! On my own I found the climbing a pain and didn't pace myself too well, but was rapid on descents!!! Hit 65kph. Went through Leek and hopefully set off two speed cameras. Was going 34mph through 30mph speed-trap.
Good ride before hols.

Cycling race (Time Trial) 27:07 [5] 16.11 km (35.6 kph) +25m
ahr:176 max:182 rhr:80
New PB but a tad disappointed I couldn't get under 27mins :(
I was Race Number: 50 so it was actually getting dark when I started. Really needed my light, and the wind had picked up. Second leg was 2kph slower than first.
OUT: 36.7kph
IN: 34.7kph
Good fun though. It's a shame it's the last of the season, but I guess it's because of the lack of light. There were another 15 riders after me! So they came back in even worse conditions.

Cycling warm up/down 23:00 [3] 10.0 km (26.1 kph) +20m
ahr:146 max:166 rhr:8
I arrived at 6:30 but had to wait till 7:40pm to start! So I probably did a bit too much warm up. And didn't help the nerves.

Cycling 3:01:30 [3] 84.0 km (27.8 kph) +250m
ahr:143 max:173 rhr:72 slept:8.0 weight:147lbs
A grim start to the morning's ride with Jonathon didn't put us off, and the small shower soon disappeared leaving us just with some damp roads and puddles to contend with. We did 36km in a bit of a warm-up loop through Goostrey, Blackden Heath, Withington Green, Siddington then we hopped on the A537 at the Chelford roundabout and entered Wilmslow through Chorley on Knutsford Rd.
In wilmslow we met Simon, John and Craig (Westmead Team 88 club guys) at Barclays. They were nice guys, all old enough to be my dad mind... We started by heading towards Altrincham through the tunnels under Manc Airport. Simon had a spectacular crash in the second tunnel which saw him fly over his handle bars and land on his head and shoulder. This was due to there being a curbed footpath instead of the cycle path that was in the previous tunnel. There was a bit of damage to his bike but amazingly he managed to carry on cycling!!!
After Alty we entered totally uncharted territory as I cycled past the back of Dunham Massey because it's been ages since I'd been round there and can't remember any of the roads, plus just after Partington we hit the 60km mark so new longest ride already!!!
Me and Jon turned off just before Lymn and came back through High Legh, Mere and Knutsford. Me returning home on my own for last 5km. It was a really nice ride and glad I chose it over the skyride. Awesome weather in the end!!
