Rookie goes for 4 in a row @ IMUK Week 17 of 28
So as I said last week, if lockdown is over by July, then i’m ‘going anyway’ and making it 4 in a row DIY style on the legendary 2017 IMUK race circuit…..
Why?…..
I quite like the romance of it all….
I’m also loving returning to the iconic 2017 racetrack (Babylon & Hunters)…..
Last week I felt stronger on thact circuit than i’ve felt in a long time….
See on the iconic 2017 loop, 80% of your time is spent down on the bars and 20% of your time is spent climbing…..
Yet on the 2019 & proposed 2020 routes, it was the other way round, 20% of your time is spent on the bars and the other 80% is spent grinding….
Who wants to grind for 112 miles?
Not me….
Fuck that….
They should never have changed it in the first place…
Broke my heart when they ripped Babylon & Hunters out of the race circuit…..
Broke my heart….(look at the supporters on Babylon ffs)
Anyhow….
Training is going well….
I’m doing 2 x 10k runs a week and 2 x 10 mile bike TT’s on alternate days then a lap of the sacred circuit on a Sunday….
Havin a lot of fun on that old loop….
I’m peppering the 3 hour mark but not been able to crack it yet….(today’s effort on the classic 47 mile racetrack 3:04) www.strava.com/activities/3390111623
Do one lockdown so I can get on Gaz’s back wheel….
Next update…10th May
