Went out last night on one of the few glorious Summer nights Aberdeen is ever likely to see this year. It was just a pootle with the Giddy Blonde. Nothing going but the intent of enjoying myself on a shiny 'deen evening. As soon as I got on the bike I felt like I was home, and I was flying! I've had amazingly sore calves since Monday night - even though it's only Wednesday it's felt like a very long week hobbling around - but that all went when we were out. I hadn't realised how much I'd missed it even if it was just for two hours.
Here's the route:

Also for the first time wore my Heart Monitor. Apparently in a 2 hr cycle ride I burned 1340 odd calories - which doesn't seem right. What do we think? I've tried working with HR before but it always seems to have me working lower than what I feel like work. For example - if I were to work at 154 (near enough the average) I'd feel like I was cooling down.
As soon as the calves wear off I'll go do a 1/4 of a mile barefoot (they really have been sore), and then out on the bike this weekend I think. We were ment to be doing a sportive round Alford but I've not done anything about it. I'm still in two minds about doing it - I think I should, just not really sure I want to. Will have to register that morning though - as they're only accepting Paypal or cheque.
