This month has been the peak of my training block and it’s been all encompassing. It’s been a lot of fun pushing myself this much, but I’m glad it’s over. Cycling 2026-05-03 - 111 km This was my first proper ride on the new bike, and yeah, it’s great. Its handling is much calmer, it responds to power much better and the fit is very comfortable. This route wasn’t it though. A road I wanted to use was shut which put me on a massive diversion and left me guessing my route most of the time as my GPS didn’t get it. Fantastic first outing though. 2026-05-10 - 115 km Gravel Edition ✨ Having finally got my gravel bike last month, I decided to go gravelling. This was a lot of fun. Turns out not being around cars is great. For the off-road part I saw more dogs than people. I tried a new fuelling strategy and that sorta fell apart, but we learn. It did mess up the first half of the ride but was thankfully recoverable. This was just a taste but I can’t wait to be able to do some proper gravel…
