Saturday 2nd December 2023: Good morning MTB ride across country to Hayle and back
Long MTB training ride after several years of not cycling 🚴 outside. Both Trevor and Steve on there 29ers were well ahead but happy how I performed on my 26 Giant MTB but need to get some clip in pedals and MTB shoes to get more power. Fairly hilly in places but stopped off for a pastie and coke at Philps In Hayle to get some calories in. Little knackered towards the end but excellent ride for aerobic fitness as well as strength in biking legs. Couple of photos of some interesting graffiti on the bridges and link to relive below

Tuesday 28th November 2023: 20 minute WattBike Test
After Strength session a 20 minute WattBike test to determine FTP for regular sessions, however on Ergo setting seemed difficult to up the power going at 90 plus cadence. After this did a 1000m RowErg cool 😎 down as follows.
The row was low in power as a cool 😎 and need to maximize this as the gig rowing 🚣🏿 season progresses into next years local regattas and CPGA Championships.
