Moel Famau

Went out again today up to Moel Famau, an early start at 6.00 am. Felt a lot better after two days off the bike and a lot stronger on the hill climbs.

Interesting it looks like Flintshire/Denbighshire are going to be building more trails in the area as their is signage for a new red and black route at the car park, but sadly no trails :(

Total Distance 37km

More training again today to try and condition my body for another Merida Marathon. Started using High 5 4:1 that tasted really nice compared to SIS PSP. I also purchased some Banana and Mango Recovery stuff from Torq that was rather tasty although I always use less than what they seem to recommend. Although I am feeling the burn after two days of riding, hopefully I’ll get over to Cannock tomorrow to see what the trails are like there and riding new stuff will hopefully improve me technically.

Total Distance: 25km

Average HR: 166bpm

Average Speed Approx: 12km

Time Taken: 2 hours 9 mins

Penmachno 1 & 2

Well today I did both loops at Penmachno got there early doors (9:00am) and the place was empty.

Was really impressed with my times today, I’ve started using my Sunto Mk1 Heart Rate monitor so hopefully I can measure my progress a little more accurately.

Total Distance: 30.5km

Today more training with some fantastic views. Did a short loop up at Moel Famau, quite a challenging route for 13km. Took 2 hours due to the climb and breakfast at the peak :)
