First the headlines: FA Cup: Liverpool 2-1 Man Utd - cracking result - 2 Manchester teams knocked out of 2 cups in 1 week - happy days!!
Now back to the cycling! - I squeezed in a 22 miler yesterday afternoon on my own - I worked on staying in my top box as much as possible to keep building on the power in my legs - cadence dropped abit, but i still averaged 77 & got my average speed upto 15.7 - not too bad for January!
This morning Jack & I had a trip out - similar route to Saturday, covering 21.5 miles - The Met Office App said it was 4 degrees but 'feels like' minus 2 - and it was right!! Jack did well in the cold & I got cadence back up to 82! Jack carried out one of his famous 'Jack Attacks' just before Holt - I was practicing staying on his wheel when he had a drink, when he put his bottle back on his bike, he had a slight malfunction & it fell to the road; I swerved to avoid the bottle, while Jack slowed to stop to pick it up & guess what - we came together & fell gracefully onto the verge!! No major damage thankfully!
So January to date I'm over 160 miles for the month - so good start for the year - in May - I'll be doing that in 2 days!!
In case you missed it Liverpool 2-1 Man Utd!!
