November Summary

A big month kinda…tapering into the Everesting meant I had up and down weeks. In the end it looked like this;

As for December…rest month mostly!

Everesting Week 21

The last week, just a couple of ride before the big day on the weekend.

Monday, TrainerRoad Mount Wood. When every ride is minimum of 25 miles! Felt a little tweak in right knee so cruised through last set . 3 more rides till this is done! Mount Wood is 3x8-minute over-under intervals alternating between 3 minutes at 95% FTP & 1 minute at 105% FTP with 6-minute recoveries between intervals. Usual 15 min warm up.

New Whip…give it a good crack!

Plan for next year are shaping up. I am waiting for Race registration to open on the BWR and Dirty Kanza in February and January respectivly. I am signed up for the Rock Cobler which is in February. All three of these rides (I am not sure I will actually be raceing them) are off road, mostly.

I have been kicking aorund the idea of getting a hardtail moutain bike for these events, not really looking that seriously but kicking things around. I was trawaling through a FaceBook Swap Meet and I came across a Lynksey Cooper CX. It’s used, some but not much and is pretty well speced. A quick communication with the seller and the deal is done! This was the listing picture:

It will need a few tweaks before it’s ride ready but it’s got a lot of fun packed miles ahead of it!
