Each week, Ginny will be providing reports for the turbo sessions she’s running (see here for details) – they’ll be placed in this blog post.
7 Dec Amazingly people have kept coming through all that snow ice and freezing weather. Well done to all of you and thanks to Neil for holding the fort while I was away. Some comedy last week when the heaters tripped the switch but after next week we should have some insulation in there which will make things a lot nicer for turbo training and for personal training for all of us (except for Des who seems completely impervious to the dropping temperature once he is on the bike!). Also good to have Maurice back. Ginny, Tony, Maurice, Des, Andy, Neil.
2 Nov Another good session . We are just beginning the harder sessions. I hope everyone stretched well. It would still be fine to join in if you are new to turbo-ing we can adapt things and that applies throughout the whole season.
Ginny, Tony, Des, Maurice, Andy, Amanda, Neil. G,T and M all away next week so have fun the rest of you.
Oct 26 Nice to have a milder night . After a few false starts Adrian managed to be with us tonight which was great . Hope he feels ok tomorrow ! Ginny, Tony, Amanda , Des and Jon all present and correct.(Neil on his holls ) We are all better at pedaling faster out of the saddle this season though Tony and Jon were pretty good at this last season. I think having Marc with us last year really helped with this (me especially ) . Several of us are getting good at single legs as well (not me though ) its good to see the benefits …Amanda is unnervingly good at the core stuff .
We still have room for a few more new ones, its not to late to join in (it never is in fact but it does feel good to have continuity whist the summer evening rides are on the back burner)
We will be sad to see Jon go he’s got a new job which will interfere with the timings . Lets hope it goes well for him .
19 Oct Nice session which went well despite the downpour which resulted in Jon not making it .Good to have Maurice back .I hope you haven’t overdone it. Also Amanda ,Tony, Ginny ,Neil, Des.
12 Oct Ginny, Tony, Andy, Amanda,Jon, Des and Neil,(Maurice called in-definitely not better yet!) We are all still having a nice time !
5 Oct Ginny, Tony, Andy, Neil (Maurice ill,Des recovering, Jon and Amanda away and Richard fallen by the wayside with family commitments -we miss him !)
Hot off the press, here is a report on the first 3 weeks of the winter turbo training sessions run by Ginny:
28 Sep: somewhat diminished crew tonight! well done Amanda, Andy and Maurice for riding. Ginny and Des on their feet but at least present with Richard also in sick bay. Neil busy but dropped in to deliver the fans and goodies (thank you), Tony in bed (!) and Jon on a jolly in London – well I never! Lets hope we do better next week.
14 Sep and 21 Sep: The first 2 sessions got off to a flying start with 9 of us (Ginny, Tony, Maurice, Des, Amanda, Jon, Neil, Andy,and new man Richard) all finding our “turbo legs”. We are gradually getting used to our new venue and working out how to best manage it. So far so good. We are particularly missing Marc (whose father is ill ) and “The Boys” we hope they will return at some point .
Also where have Michael and Adrian gone they seemed enthusiatic to join us ?
