All set for #mondello24, a long day to come
I'm like a hen on a hot griddle here switching between weather models (wxcharts is great) trying to figure out if and when it's going to rain during the Mondello24 race, if it's going to rain I'd prefer it to be after dawn on Sunday morning, the end is getting closer by then and a little extra misery shouldn't is easier to stomach. ECM is rolling out now and shows a wet night, hopefully that'll change before Saturday #cycling #ultracycling #BikeTooter #mondello24
Nighttime training session on the track for #mondello24 last night, a beautiful evening, if a bit chilly when the sun went down. I always like riding with a good light at night, all the distractions seem to fade away. 4 weeks to go to the event, I'm looking forward to my taper week already #cycling #BikeTooter #ultra #endurance

So, 7.5mm of unexpected rain overnight meant I could head to the Wicklow hills this morning, even managed to meet our club spin lads for a nice coffee stop.

Met the club spin in Blessington for coffee

Our regular nighttime club spins have become evening spins, a nice pint in the Fisherman's Inn to celebrate sermed like a good idea. #barrowblueway #pints #cycling #training #mondello24
Out in the fresh air again this morning, it was cool and breezy but I had the bike setup to test out my new bags for possible Audax or Ultra race spins. Generally a good experience, everthing worked fine, i didn't actually need anything I brought but that wasn't the point. Most importantly the legs felt good all through the 162kms/6.5 hours spin, a good start to the year. #cycling #mondello24 #wildmayoultra #training #restrap
