Derby Velodrome (again)…

My Day:
After the last nights velodrome session we decamped to the local Travelodge for a well needed sleep… Got us quite early as the second session velodrome session started at 10:00.


Once the session was completed it was the 180-mile drive home… once home got the washing machine fired up and cooked some grub then relaxed in front of the TV.
 
Cycling:
Day 33/92
With sore legs from the previous night’s session I was ready to start the Supervets session at Derby Velodrome… another two hours session for riders 60 years old or older. The age limit was stuck to as one of the riders confessed to being only 40… there was also a chap who was 71, so quite a varied age range.


Over the space of a couple of hours I clocked up 24.5 miles and looking at the Garmin I managed to do a little better generally. We generally do about 20 minutes effort then have a 20 minutes recovery (off the bike). I am feeling more comfortable on the track the more I ride it. Once again, I got my mates wife to video me and it truly looks atrocious the way in sitting on the bike and riding… another friend edited a video of me riding the track in 2005 which I want to try and find to use as a comparison… Maybe I always looked crap and not much has changed, anyway I will let you know about the outcome of that one.
