Today Today - August 2016

[Half-Fast Mike]

Enjoyed July - especially the Norikura weekend with a bonus half-day mountain bike tour.

In August I have family visiting from the UK, so am unlikely to meet the 1250 km Stravr quotr for distance challenge. Not the end of the world.


(The Wheel does not show commuting rides)

August already! I had a bumper week last week, clocking up 750 km.

All before breakfast with my training buddy.

A rest week this week. Then 3 more weeks of hard work before flying out to the land down under...

You are putting in that much distance, at training level, before you go to work each day?

 

[andywood]

Basically building from
550 > 625 > 750 km over the last 3 weeks.

We finish just after 7 so early starts and early nights are the key.

How do you manage eating and recovery at work? Do you have food prepared to take in with you, the previous night?

 

[andywood]

Last week was an easy work week. But yes always prepare everything the night before: lunch, clothes, bike wear for the commute.

At the pool or beach with the kids in the evening for recovery!

Been in Izu for a few days. Got out on the bike for a bit of early morning riding. (Just a bit) it's amazing riding down here. Would love to spend a week just exploring the little roads sometime.




And where I spent most of my time...

 

[saibot]

looks awesome! We need to sort a bike trip there for sure!

 

[theBlob]

Yeah just set up camp somewhere and do 100km in the morning, laze on the beach for the arvo! Too good!

 

[andywood]

Can't beat a bit of Izu! These roads were made for cycling!

It's an ok shot, but I prefer photos that aren't dominated by a man's willy

Okay, but I look at it and wonder how I might make a similar pic (sans willy).

I don't think I could. So something happened there photographically that shows action/energy, that I, enviously, could not replicate. (or it would take me forever)

 

[andywood]

It's still cold at 4am. Honestly...

That's a really nice shot.

And it's getting colder by the day...

!Haha! Gonna get myself banned!

After changing the pawl spring in my rear wheel I have had some creaking from somewhere. The back wheel I am suspecting. So I swapped out the pawl spring to a new one which has substantially more spring in it. So hopefully I'll have a silent bike tomorrow.
It's all sparkly again after a wet ride this week so all ready to go for tomorrow's west Tokyo mission.
I'm drenched now. Man it's hot out!

This one's for you jdd!

Legs were good this morning after an easy week. I promised these two it was a recovery ride!

Just watching the tour of Japan race in oshima. There's a break of about 8 riders. The guy in the front decides to do a Froome and ride on the top bar instead of the seat..... On the flat... Needless to say the peloton caught them in about 30 seconds
What a clown.

Andy--so there's no confusion (given some formatting mixups in the quotes),

That's what I said about this pic.

 

[andywood]
