Friday 6th October 2023: Quick Zwift virtual ride round the Zwift London route to remind me of the sights in my London Challenges

A quick training ride on the zwift London route which reminded me of some of the sights in my 9 London marathons as well as my recent gig row down the Thames in the London Great River Race with my pirate 🏴‍☠️ team mates from PNPGC. Some shots from the ride.

Tuesday 3rd October 2023: Nice hilly virtual ride on the Fulgaz Passo Campolonga from Arabba route in Italy on WattBike

Quite a hilly start on the 🚴 climb on this route in Italy 🇮🇹. Quite a long downhill section down to the finish. Nice workout to get my bike fitness up to speed after doing a lot of gig rowing 🚣‍♀️

Monday 2nd October 2023: Spin in The Fulgaz Southern Germany route

Quite a rolling hilly ride in Southern Germany 🇩🇪. Had a few problems getting the program to work but once set up a great short ride.

In the morning went to a Pilates session in the village hall. Was a harder session than the Wednesday session as was more on the core

Sunday 1st October 2023 : PNPGC Men’s Evening Row

Evening row in a rather misty murky evening. Lot’s of race training. Cox: Julie, 6: Tina, 5: Mikey, 4: Jonny, 3: Steve, 2: Me. 1: Kev. After a vigorous row went to Longboat with some of the crew where we met Trev who was buzzing after doing the CPGA Supervets Champs in Swanage with Rame who came 4th in plate.

Saturday 30th September 2023: Two Virtual Training bike rides on WattBike along two Fulgaz courses

Nice warm up ride on the relatively flat Nedereind route in Netherlands near Utrecht.

Followed this with a Fulgaz ride around Plymouth waterfront taking out a number of historic sights

Ended the ride with this iconic sight of Seaton’s Tower that represents Plymouth

Wednesday 27 September 2023; Spin to Bellagio on Fulgaz and Pilates session

This was another 20 min ride testing out Fulgaz. It was a nice ride following Lake Como to a town called Bellagio. I followed this with some strength training with weights. Earlier did a Pilates session as below:

Tuesday 26th September: Quick virtual ride for a trial with Fulgaz, some weights and PNPGC Gigrow

20 minute row reviewing the program Fulgaz which was quite good ride but unlike Zwift nobody on the ride. However the video representation of the route was realistic. Also the feel on the bike was good with lots of data. My first impression was like Rouvey but better at this first review. After this did some strength training with weights.

Later in the day did a vigorous row working on starts and race pace rowing 🚣‍♀️ . Cox: Julie, 6: Kerry, 5: Jo, 4: Sarah 3; Me, 2: Alison, 1: Jonny. Rowed into the slip past the Scillonian III which was sheltering from the storm Agnes which was coming in on Thursday.
