Had 6 pints last night, not the best idea before a likely beating on the Saturday training ride circuits. Rode over to Mick's for coffee before heading out to Aldbourne.

08:45am - Brighton Mitre Training Circuits (Aldbourne) - 4 Laps - 24 Miles - 1 Hour

Myself, Mick, Viv, Keenan and Nigel started off in the first group with a 6 minute handicap over Martin, Charlie, Andy, Morgan and Stuart. Riding through-and-off for 4 laps, we lost one on lap 3 and another for one lap to a puncture. Kept a good momentum and held the second group to a 4 minute gap by the end. Felt comfortable for the whole ride, just below threshold. Won the sprint for the Aldbourne sign by a bike length at the end of lap 4.

09:45am - Brighton Mitre Training Ride - 38 Miles

Rode back to Brighton via Partridge Green with 5 minute rotations on the front in pairs. Felt good, even with little breakfast and the few drinks last night. All hell let loose on the Coombes road with a few of us off playing silly buggers on the climbs and sprinting to the A27. The strongest I've felt so far today. Finished up with coffees out side the Real Eating Company in the sun.
