Arsenal - Luton - Arsenal

Yet another chance to get some miles in but it nearly never happened. Having had a weekend off it was tempting to take a third day off the bike. Why? Well once I've had a significant break from training (yes even two days) I seem to walk a tight rope of - "more time off" or "ride hard an test ya fitness". After fighting off the -sofa-is-nice demons I got out to Regent Park on Monday evening and rode hard for an hour.

This set me up nicely for my 4 hour round trip to Luton on Tuesday Morning. As I said before all the sections along the A1081 which were free of roundabouts and traffics were hit as hard as I could manage. In a masochistic sense I even enjoyed getting slightly giddy from the pain of suffering between St Albans and Harpenden.
