Hayfield Reverse

Riders - Gus, Woody, Ollie, Vally, GordonAfter last time we did Hayfield and finding it rather unpleasant, we decided to try it in reverse.In summary it's still unpleasant.It took it's toll on our bikes again and it means Ollies now got an excuse to upgrade his drivetrain. It was also nice to be able to see more than 10ft - summers on the way!

10 minute run

Classic Lady Ladybower

The long awaited return to the Sheffield Ladybower figure of 8. All in all 4ish hours of hard uphill followed by sometimes exhilarating and sometimes terrifying downhill. Was aching like a trojan the day after...

run

Quick run around the block 10 minutes approx, still producing loads of mucus. Still sodding cold. Grrrr.

Run

Longer Run 20-25 minutes in the (still) freezing cold. Stopping every now and then to do a huff and bring up some nasty looking plugs.

Run

Run at dinner time 10-15 minutes. Didn't run much this week, have been struggling a bit with Oscar getting settled and with the over-produciton of mucus at night, possibly combined with wheeziness. I'm not sure whether this is linked to the Tobi I've been taking. Anyway I took myself off Tobi nebs (went back on Colymycin) and gave myself a 5 day course of Ceftazadine left over from last year. I'm also taking a weeks worth of prednisolone prior to the appointment next week to see how my LF shapes up.

Finally did the full Marple-Rowarth loop with V,G and RG. If your fit you can do it in 2.30 hours. We did it in 3.30 hours and I was crawling at the end. RG has just bought a mountain bike as well, and he was struggling just as much a me, which made me feel a bit better about not being as fit as the others. All in all good fun, and the healthiest day I've had in a long time.
