Wind Training

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

A few people have mentioned using the wind trainer lately, so why not add to it? Aside from the rain, I can't ride on the trails right now due to injury. Doesn't stop me grinding away on the trainer though so have had one set up in the lounge for the last couple of weeks.

Dunno about anyone else, but the whole, "No pain, no gain" things sits well with me. I believe you have to push your body in order to improve it so sitting there pedaling away comfortably won't cut it. Sure, you will probably maintain some level of cardio fitness this way, but it might be nice to improve somewhat. Boring as it is, this is all I've got right now, so I tell the story of my latest 'rides'...

Late Post: Oaks up and down and maybe some more.

When: 
Saturday, 6 October, 2007 - 08:25
Ride Database Entry: 
The Oaks

Going for a training ride and here is the plan:

1- Leave Glenbrook station, bypass the single track on the uphill and go all the way to Woodford.
2- Ride down the Oaks to the beginning of the single track and if the legs allow, go up again till the helipad and then go back all the way to Glenbrook.

I'm not sure if this second leg will happen, but I'm willing to try anyway.

I'm going to Glenbrook by train, so I may get a little late depending on Cityrail's mood.

The Oaks - Up and Down Training ride

The Oaks

I’m planning on riding The Oaks from Glenbrook Station to Woodford and back for some pain endurance training for The Fling. I’ll try to avoid stopping as much as possible, but knowing my current fitness level this does not mean much. Meeting point is the parking lot in front of Glenbrook station.

Terrey Hills Hills

Ride Database Entry: 
Terrey Hills / Duffys Forest

This is a ride for the guys who may or may not have to drop a friend at the Nobbettes Only Ride around the same time.

Seems like we have 2 hours to kill around Terrey Hills, so let's hit up all those climbs you know and love. Centre Track, Sandy Trail, Bibbenluke, Cullamine, etc, etc.

If the girls had any sense they'd come meet us at the coffee shop when they're done Eye-wink
