More lard.

Another day accumulating lard. Cycling shoes arrived. Now need to buy pedals to fit shoes and bikes. Arranged to go for first accompanied ride next Sunday with neighbour who is keen cyclist.

I'm a lumber jack

No proper training this weekend but all over workout with my mighty chopper

A wheel test

R200 is still badly set up but with a new 20 spoke lightweight wheel he is a bit faster than last week after I ran over him.
To work 5 miles nearly overtook a Land Rover driven by a myopic militia driver, my sudden appearance at his drivers door encouraged him to accelerate away in a cloud of black smoke
Took long way back 15 miles 56 mins av bpm 135 max 160 bpm

R100

Late day at work no training fat lardy. Went to see R100 on the work bench, now needs a spoke in the rear wheel and all will be well. Ready for the road. Going to set a date for the first 100 miler. Meanwhile eating jelly dinosaurs.

Manflu

AKA laziness and overdosed on peanut M and Ms instead of training. Bought some cycling shoes from ebay, a pair just like the one shoe I have. There are supposed to be two but we have dogs.

Wheely great

No training as manflu and severe weather forced use of car.
New wheel arrived by courier. Woooohooooo! R200 is back in action. As soon as I find time to assemble him!

Uphill struggle

To work and back on the MTB. Massivley difficult due to strong winds blowing me to a standstill at one point, refused to change to granny ring for flat work. Av 129 max 154

Manflu and bad left knee
