With the thoughts of the people of Nepal still in our minds we tried to get back our focus on training witch saw May consisting of being away every weekend with races, friends and family visits, camping trips and a special little birthday looked set to keep this month interesting.
The first started off with a marathon but it turned into something not like I imagined. The marathon came with the journey up to Innerleithen, with accidents, general traffic and an hour queue just to get into a service station meant we turned up a about midnight to check into out luxurious camping pod.
The next morning, while Gem had a lie in I nipped out for a ride which saw my feet colder than anything I have ever experienced before, I couldn't feel my feet and when I showered they burnt like hell. All in all not the best weekend, but we got some riding in and Gem soon got over her plague.
Next up was a weekend away without Gem :( I was off to Liverpool and Gem was off in the lakes but then came a little something involving Gemma getting older and a weekend camping in the lakes and we were back on the bikes!
The next trip involved three days of biking in Wales involving trail centers and a good old wander in the hills, great weather and some good training to boot.
The last trip of this month involved a failed bid to get people to complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks. We camped anyway and went for a good long walk and had a good little BBQ to end the weekend!
A busy month all round with every weekend packed and plenty of spin and weight sessions at the gym to boot.
Overall May saw me ride 358K with 51 hours sat on the bike.
