20231221 Mouldy Goes to Seville – MGS Session 022

Folks,

Thank you for visiting the site where aim to provide regular updates of the challenge “Mouldy Goes to Seville”

In earlier sessions we explained how we would simulate the cycle, you can read about it here

Todays route

The route today took us from Coolbawn to just north of Enniscorthy

The direction of travel was running south through the Wicklow Mountains into County Wexford

The route stopped at Enniscorthy where there are some pretty famous landmarks, notably that to mark a stage of the Tour De France from 1998

We enclose a screen shot/s from bkool application of planned routes/ sessions

From Strava we enclose screen shots of what was achieved in this session

Today’s cycle

Seen us make the another ascent within the Wicklow Mountains

Today the cycle was again made up of two decent sized climbs

These climbs ranged today from 8 to 11 percent and in between the climbs we had benefited from an element of the descent

This cycle is all about gradually building myself up, with a focus on sustainability where we hope to avoid any major injury relapse. You can read more about the why here.

Today’s kit

Focusing on comfort and the fact that I am a big frame, tight lycra is currently not my friend.

Therefore we decided to wear something more comfortable from the Celtic shirt collection and plan to do so for the foreseeable future

A little change in theme today, recognising that our Celtic Team had won the Quadruple Treble three years previously on the 20th December 2020

It was appropriate to wear the long sleeve goalkeeper top with the number 65 on the back, this also recognises the young goalkeeper “Conor Hazard” who made a heroic performance during the penalty kicks, which helped us win the Scottish cup that day !

The kit is pictured below with a pleasant backdrop of the “The Road to Lisbon” cycling t-shirt from from the 50th Anniversary Charity cycle in 2017

Kit = 2019-2020 – Celtic – Grey goalkeeper away top – Number 65 – Conor Hazard
