Can't ride, still training!

Another week till I'm back on the bike, you don't want to know why! Suffice to say it's doing my head in and I am beyond itchy to ride. My new gore ride wear is hung nicely in the wardrobe, bike is freshly clean, cycling shoes at the ready, the only thing I need now is time. Roll on next week!

In my downtime therefore I am doing what I can, which pretty much just involves core work. Lots of planks, kettle bell squats, leg raises and so on. If I can't feel the burn on my legs from riding up 19%, I'm sure as hell going to feel the burn in my abs from some core work.

It's all a means to an end, all training for Le tour Alzheimer's on 20 July, so all good. Even if I am frustrated as hell seeing all the cyclists I follow on twitter going out for rides, and the sun outside and lighter mornings beckoning me to join them on the road.

See you soon!
