Last week sun burn, this week road burn

Posted by Gary

After cycling in the sun (see previous post), I'm back in wales cycling in the rain. Easy not to get sun burn, but did manage to get road burn when i crashed on slippy road, I know which I prefer (see picture of my thigh below).

Can't let a holiday stop the training

Posted by Gary

With 3 months to go and the need for a quick holiday I decided to hire a road bike whilst in Fuertaventura. Known as the windy cannary isle, it didn't let it's reputation down. The wind didn't drop below 20 mph, not ideal for cycling. I managed to cycle a 40 and 30 miler, nice when when the sun and the wind was on my back but not so nice with the head wind, I'm not complaining though.
