    Was doing really well, 60K rides average for a sunday on SS.
    Start of June had a minor heart attack, still no reason from Quack or hospital as why. Gradually started back on the bike this month, going gentle and slow.
    Resigned to not do Kielder this year under medical grounds and fitness wise I feel like I did back in january…BOLLOX

    Think I was running 34:19 on a 29er last year. My write up is over there

    Don't worry Paul, it was HTN 1 and the first Torq 12:12 where the mud was deep and the riders were moany

    Part of me is thinking of running gears (well 6 of them anyway) for this year just to get it over quicker but the SSer in me keeps telling me to MTFU

    Yes, ridiculous isn't it. On the road though so not too hard 😉

    Actually we stopped for a cup of tea at the cafe in Elsdon and an old fella rolled up for his beans on toast. The cafe owner told him where we were going (we were about 80 miles in at that point) and he said "Aye, well I'm away back round by Kielder then back up to Galashiels – I'll probably have done 200 miles by then" Just a normal day out for him!

    We set out to see how far we could go before getting exhausted but just got bored at the end tbh. Great day out tho'

    Martin – wondering whether I should clean the alfine out before the race after it's dunking last time. Seems fine!

    Cand:
    Is riding the bike at all a good idea if you've just had a heart attack?
    Is not a brisk walk a better idea?
    No chance of riding Kielder this year – for both of us.

    Dicky – no, just with some mates. We generally fell run then cycle in the summer. I'm more into biking than they are mostly. I know a few of the Gosforth folk tho'

    I wrote something here and about the K100 last year.
