It would be a good thing if The Times’ campaign was also taken up by the other Murdoch daily newspaper – The Sun. How often have you seen The Times rolled-up and wedged on a white van dashboard?

I have found the sessions on the tacx website to be good – especially as the cumulative time does not match all the intervals! – It keeps your brain active trying to keep in the right place!

I have returned to cycling after many years,(i met a young lady who was faster than me.I`m not talking about riding a bike). Now at 66 years of age,17 months after a heart attack i am back on a bike built by Ellis Briggs of Shipley.
I sneaked out the other day to climb a local hill (it was a hill to me)to see if i could make it to the top,i was passed by a young chap about half way up he made me feel as if i was standing still.
I did catch him up at some traffic lights nackered but pleased to have made it. The young chap said to me god that was ###### good. I found a pub then had a few.

After watching the mud fest that was the 1985 Paris Roubaix I’ve decided we have all gone soft. Just don’t ask me why I’m watching old bike races instead of getting on the turbo.

I think the max I’ve ever done on a turbo is two hours – and that feels quite something.

My average turbo training session is one hour. I did that 5 hours only in my imagination.

I find turbo training is more efficient if you can leave it the set up position. I’ve actually got into a routine of training on turbo every day for past two weeks, and its much easier to get started. But, if you have to change wheels and convert training bike onto turbo it can really take a lot of time.

Look for rougher tarmac – if there is ice on the road surface, at least there will be something poking through it for the tyres to get some purchase …
