I've ridden to work these last two day mostly because my leg is still iffy. I don't want to over stress it with impact heavy running or weight work but with the finnal Wadenhoe coming up I need to do some training.
Good news is it seems to be working and the leg is feeling much better today. My times to and from work have been improving I got back today in 50:36. No where near the record but I'm still going with all the kit in the back minus the bike locks which I've ditched at work. Top speeds now up to a more respectable 31.7 down the long hill and I think once I can stop being so top heavy with the pack there's more in the tank. More importantly I got the average up to 19.1! Yeah ok so maybe the tail wind had something to do with it. Plan is to have a day off from the bike and try a "gentle" gym session looking after the leg but giving everything else a good whack.
Thursday is going to be a rest day with Friday another gentle gym session followed by the Rugby. Can't decide if I should have a beer with it. Have to see how the legs holding up after the gym. Might need to be medicinal.
On Saturday I'm going to look at moving the big lights over from my MTB. The battery pack goes where the cycle computer is so might need to look at getting that in somewhere else if it won't fit. I'm not happy with the dinky little LED light I'm sure I'm being seen but I couldn't see a thing this morning when I got out on the A15 to Norman's Cross. Besides whats the point of having a hundred quids worth of light sitting in the garage while I make do with a 10 pound budget choice from wilkinsons?
