Road Cycling

Great work & long overdue! How has the recovery been? 8.5 hours is a long day out and expect that caused more 'issues' than the legs as you've been going well & regularly getting out!?

Genuinely been pretty much fine. The only slight rash seems to be on my chest from the hydration vest i was using. Some soreness during the ride which i always get around 3hours in, but then that disipates and i felt ok. My back was a little sore afterwards, but absolutely fine yesterday.

Today managed a hilly trail run so even the legs are ok. Think i'm just starting to see some benefit from consistency over the last 2 months properly pay off.

Sounds good, perfect excuse for enjoying them! More and more IPAs around the last few years due to the 'craft beer' craze, used to like trying different ones but think I've actually gone off them a little. Gone back to lagers or when I do have an IPA gone fairly plain originals for a 'known good' (Shipyard/Proper Job/HPA) rather than something with an equal chance of being 'ok' or tastes like it's not finished fermenting, flat as squash and gives me a bad gut. Hate to say it, actually liking Budweiser! Even got a slab of it for the holiday! :eek:

Yeah, i've been a big IPA fan for around 15 years now and still remember Beermoth opening in Manchester when they were mainly importing USA based craft IPAs. Still love the flavour but they don't sit as well in my stomach as they once did. Especially some of the more mainstream ones like Founders/Lagunitas that are popping up in bars around here.
Spain is still massively behind, but there's a really good local bar now which usually has a couple high end IPA's from Northern Spain. Can't say i've found enjoyment in Budweiser yet though!
 
Never listened to him (don't really do podcasts) but who is he? Some kinda motivational PT guy? One of my TTT'ers keeps going on about him. It's turned into a bit of a wind up from others as he is also one of the worst for chickening out of hard rides! :cry:

Goggins is a legend. If you want a laugh. Ex Navy SEAL, lots of ho-hoo, motivational stuff and silly challenges like 4x4x48 - 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours.


We had a week in Gent & Bruges earlier in the month. Had to remember that you need to drink slower when you're on triples and Christmas ales at 11 and 12% :D

Yeah, i always favour DIPAs which are around the 8-9% mark and it's amazing the effect it has vs just a normal beer
 
Strava is getting extremely pushy with their premium sub.. it’s everywhere on their app. May have to stop using it at this point.
