February Ride Stats

Better month in the saddle during February, tipping over 300 miles for the month and 500 miles for Jan/Feb.  It's behind where I wanted to be, I'd of liked to have been nearer 700miles at this point, however it is what it is.


I've agreed to do London to Paris in June  as a guest of Skoda (3 day ride) and therefore need to step my training up and get some decent quality miles in the legs and some harder rides.  I've been doing a lot of base mile riding during Jan/Feb to help build an aerobic base.


Interestingly, my average speed was faster during February with more climbing as part of the route profile whilst staying within Heart Rate Zone 2, so that would indicate that the base miles are working.  if you want to learn more about base miles, read this.
