Turbo Man's Fitness Blog: Last Hard Ride Before Barca

NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

Last Hard Ride Before Barca

A week today I will be testing my legs on the Barcelona tarmac so today was my last hard ride. I met up with my local group and we did a hard and hilly 43 miles in 2 hours 20 minutes. We did lots of hills, some of which seemed to go on for ages, and I felt good all the way to the end. With no hills on the Barca course it will be a completely different ride next week but, as I've said a few times already, I feel ready for the challenge.
