La Marmotte training update 1 Articles / La Marmotte - 174km cycle, 5180m ascent Date: Apr 16, 2009 - 12:18 AM Just in case you havent yet got my spam invite to part with your money, sponsor me here Last Thursday I picked up my brand spanking first ever racing bike from Geoffrey Butler Cycles in Croydon. Great bike shop, they were really helpful getting my setup right. The 9 mile ride home was fantastic. I've been cycling into work and back the last couple of days. Tuesday, the first attempt, got into the office a tad late as my freezer defrosting the night before had not completed overnight, and had to finish it off in the morning with a hairdrier! [Note to self, defrost before the antarctic is in the freezer and the door wont close] So my plan to use new bike got shoved to save time and cycle in with the electric bike. But that plan was foiled as it had a puncture, so got to use new bike after all. But was actually faster on new bike, although a lot more knackered! New bike is great, now I just need new legs...
