Severn Sunday ride. A bit gray and foggy on occasions. Not going well, yesterday had taken it out of me. Luckily most of the ride was at a good steady pace, droped back heading back up to Todmarton in the end.

Acidently stoped the ride after 20km in so split into two in IpBike. Merge ride feature an early addition next week.

Event: MTBO Gisburn national league Final
 

Event: WNL 2 Frith Wood
 

National league Gisburn. A race of two halfes trricky riding bits the first half and all fast fireri=oads the second half and tge way I went mostl the same fire road repeated. god to have the Blur fo the first half but still not as good over the rought stuff as I shouyld be. Needed the scale for he second bit. 3rd 4 mins off Andrew D and a min off ChrisBB how looks to be over akeing me with youth on his side. Infront of Killian by 20 Secs.. Nav was good no real errors although not sure of route choices. Came a croper looking at th map fo the long route choice legs on the junction close to the finish the first time did not spot the barrier till very close to it decided to lay the bike down rather than hit the barrier hard and risk breaking the map board. Bashed up the same knee as I did two weeks back. Big lump and skin off my other shin which was a lot more painfull. lucky i was downhill from thre for a bit as that let m recover so I did not loose too much time straight away.

Good bit of warming up waiting o start.

First WNL of the year Frith Wood. 490 points second to Jason Howell 525. Shinn and knee hurting driving down but some IBP before the start and a dressing on the knee had m ready to go. Good nav only lost about 45 seconds on no 63 twisted my ankle a couple of times and strugeling with the brashings on the slop. Was picking them all up till 67 where I realisaed it waas not on as was at the southrn end half weay though with 20 mins left, binned the next 3 and low scorers to do aboout 1km on forest track to get somewhere closer to the finnish and make sure I got the 40 poinnter was still short of. realy had to push the last 5 mins to get in on time.

Guessing distance and climb but it is hilly.

Pleasing considering the days activity and the long drive.

too nice a day not to go out so an easy spin for an hour. Testinng colouring of display readout to match colouring of plot. Helps with knowing what is what but I think I prefer th white o black fo generall legeibility. Anywat there is an option for either way and both working OK.

Loks like I got a dodgy heart rate coming down the hill to Tockington so all the old dodgyness was not to do with the home made computer. something with the H strap and me...

Spin out on the Blur after the O event. ust checking it is OK for the weekend. A bit colld and foggy. Through West woods on the bigger road avoiding the mud then around onto th ridgway. cut short as cold and no views and went back thought the Area we had for a night eveent last year, could see about the same amount today.

Found a bug adding in the new bike with th Blur so something to fix tomorrow.

Army event at West woods. Blue course. fugured I better do some foot O before Saturday having discovered the army weere at west woods today. Slight issue at 4 whre I was back navigating to 3 in my head. too far righ at 15 found the other control on earthbank end. OK apart from that.
hip - groin hurting to start with but better later on which was probobly the painkiller I tok befor the start kicking in. Never felt I was running well pushing on a bit yesterday night was not good for comin out today. But then I did not know about the event then. Just infront of Laura by the look of the results.

Would make a decent MTBO area a bit muddy on some of the tracks. Unfortunatly there are 10 bridelways through the area.

Bok training. Inn one the green. Around Filton golf course. Pushed on harder than I have on a Tuesday for a while on the golf course nice grass. Hip giving some jip by the end back up the road.
