Saturday 31 March 2012

Brief review. Good weather still around so pushed hard and cycled for 3 days. Cold in the morning at 6.30 (0 Deg C on Tuesday) followed by 16-17 Deg C on the way home so need longs + 3 upper layers to get in and shorts and SS Jersey to get home so needed to carry some extra luggage which was a pain. Managed 18.4mph average in to work on Thursday and Friday mornings so the fastest for the year and close to best ever I think. However was pretty spent on the way home on both days as a result. On Friday took the long route but it was not as warm and a steady headwind all the way destroyed any chance of a decent time

On the plus side 119 miles commuting this week which led to some small improvements on a couple of segments plus PR for the trip in

For the end of March for the first time I have met the target mileage for Jan to Feb (422 miles per month or1250 for the quarter to get 5000 miles for the year) so I have a bit of headroom to hopefully make the target again this year. Last year it took me until April to start to get on schedule, so the March good weather has been useful.

Weather forecast for next week looks poor so that may curtail commuting next week
