Data time again

Time has passed since my last post but my eager readers want more so here is some very dry data.
In my last post I noted that I was targetting 1300 miles without a break, well I did it. I managed to amass 1480 miles before I took a day off the bike. 43 days with a bum on a saddle averaging 33.x miles a day. Ah that is not much I hear you scorn. Trust me by the 43rd day my legs were sore, my chest was tired and my ass was like an anvil. I actually only broke the sequence because I acquired a chest infection, darned immune system all that cold weather riding took its toll.
So 14 days off the bike, well 8 days off and the rest just pootling around in a very relaxed manner. But I am back, fit and riding with a goal. With Andrew my training partner we have been getting out to Aboyne and back, 62 miles, at a healthy average speed of 16.2 miles per hour into some vicious headwinds.
Just tonight we managed a midweek dash of 22 miles at 17.2 mph average, that brought a sweat on :).
It will soon be time to stretch the mileage, we need to aim for a 100 mile reliability ride in April which will be fun.But my main goal so to achieve repeatable 300 miles per week in April. Can I manage 1200 miles in April, don't bet against it.
I think I will take Saturdays off and recover just as a test, there must be some other stuff to do that doesn't work up so much heat and hunger.
