Nice ride this morning. Felt really good on the first half of my loop. Set a few PRs on Strava.
Got out to Leigh crossroads, turned left to head home and BAM! headwind. Fuck that was demoralising.
Finally got home and had a case of the jelly legs. Nearly fell flat on the floor as I stepped off the bike.
What sort of distance is that?

Only ! I was regularly doing 20+ miles on the MTB (most of that off-road) before I got my roadie earlier this year. 25 miles in summer conditions is really just a leisurely warm up. I had intended to slowly build up my distances on the road but I haven't managed much time on the bike lately so haven't progressed as much as I'd like. I've applied for the Ride London ballot so if I do end up getting a place then I'll need to up my training (and distances) massively.

Sadly, Martyn Ashton is off the bike. He sufferd a fall from a display arena obstacle ealier this year and broke his back. Paralysed from the waist down. From what I have heard, not a fall from a bike but slipped whilst standing on an obstacle.

You have to admire his attitude: http://www.bikemag.com/videos/video-against-all-odds-road-bike-party-2-is-released/The aftermath of his accident has undoubtedly changed his life by leaving him a paraplegic and a wheelchair user, but Ashton is not one to languish in self-pity, instead preferring perspective, pragmatism, and positivity. “I was immediately just so grateful,” he explains of his reaction to the accident; “I just felt lucky, you know? ‘Fuck, I nearly killed myself’. But I hadn’t, so I felt really chuffed to be honest.”

JT-L under investigation for blood passport irregularities. Not all that surprising considering his impressive performances in his latter days with Endura and that he all but disappeared from the peloton after his big move to Team Sky.
In other news, I may have a charity place for Ride London next year but I'm going to hold off on that until I find out whether I got a ballot place or not.
