Pre-Easter: A good couple of weeks

143 Km last week (my biggest week in 12 months), 53 Km this week already, with 4 days to ride over the weekend. 

I've also started stretching every day. Being more flexible makes me more comfortable in the more aerodynamic positions on the bike. And that makes a big difference. According to Bike Calculator moving from the hoods to the drops will save me 90 seconds in the opening TT of the Great Northern Tour. Over the 200 Km of Alpine Classic, it shortens the trip by 35 minutes.  

My stretching regime is pretty simple. I'm using the Start Stretching App on my iPhone. It's a 15 minute daily series of stretches (9 in all).
