A 75 minute, fairly tough turbo trainer session first thing for me (after an hour or so of work).

One just below threshold, one at threshold, one just above threshold and the final one at threshold again.

Half a day\u00a0because it was the start of the Aberystwyth Cyclefest and Morgan was taking part in the schools races\u00a0in the afternoon. I therefore collected him from school at around 1:30pm and we headed into Aberystwyth where we met Anna. Morgan then met up with some friends to do his race. As last year it was two laps around the course and he seemed to have fun, as did most other people taking part. Thankfully it stayed dry for the schools races, but it absolutely poured down later for the Town vs Gown event.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:
