I figure I can handle a couple of hours at pottering speed each morning, and the same again in the afternoons... After I've survived the first few days getting out of Cornwall & Devon!Comment

Yep, great training tool in the cold wet weather. Rules #5 and #9 not withstanding.
Managed to escape the mayhem here for 90 minutes yesterday and had another bash at the Alpe. New PB and and increased my FTP. Turns out mince pies are a performance enhancing substance

Ah, got it. Velominati.
I think doing a 200km randonee in the Peak District with steel 27x1 1/4 wheels & single freewheel (78", if I recall correctly) comfortably gets me through rule #5 (and #24!). And many a Reliability Trial in February & March in the '70s give me a pass for #9.
It seems the Wattbike has a program for Winnats pass, something I never did manage to conquer back in the day...
By the Alpe, you mean D'Huez?Comment

I do a fair bit of Audax riding, and have ridden Winnats, not in a hurry to do it again, although that might change depending on circumstances in the new year.
Aiming for a big year next year so working now to get my fitness back after 3 months out with injury."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment
