Rest day

I am taking today as a rest day as I am going to meet up with people on Friday evening.

I have been thinking about the gearing and I am going to go back to 37x16 instead of moving to 42x18 as I have been using the gearing all year and I have had some really quick starts with it.

I think that will be the more balanced option as it is a little more spinny than 42x18 and I get a little more out of every peddle than 36x16 but it does not make the start any slower which I think that 42x18 may do as it is much higher gearing.

I will take the 42x18 with me just in case I think that I need it but I think 37x16 should be the best gearing for me at the moment.

I plan to move back to 36x16 at some point as the majority of National riders use it and are really fast so they can't all be wrong.

I am a bit worried about my chest as it is still full of muck and I am coughing a lot again which I shouldn't be after 2 weeks.

I dropped my bike off at Crucial and I am going to get the 42x18 fitted and also a new chain as the one I have has been full of sand or grit since I raced at Cornwall so I figured a new one was in order.

The bike will be ready tomorrow afternoon so I can pick it up and go straight to the track to get some training in.
