Bike park

The office is looking like a bike park as I have left the Red MTB and R200 (and a scooter but thats another story) behind my desk. Reason being I had to ride in and car back. Twice. The scooter was delivered. So 5 miles today.
New delivery of lycra today.

Felt like it

Felt like spring, felt like training, had too many distractions, realise 6 months probably wont seem like long enough to train for this challenge. But when has lack of preparation ever deterred me? Back on bike tomorrow. Bought more Lycra.

Pack Horse

 Exploited small human, or exploited by a small human, either way meant 2.5 miles load carry with 40 or so pound wriggling on back.

For the shire!

Another there and back again ride in complete Mamil mode. Fine day, dry tarmac for a change, dark ride home, lights fantastic.

Sore left knee.

10 miles total.

Have persuaded several other mugs to join me on the Kington Sportive :) 14.7.13

Between the wheels

Back in the saddle of the badly set up R200 but it felt like I was flying, the fastest inbound to office ever, then on the return leg a slight clue as to why, now head to wind it felt like I was riding through treacle! Did have the over taken not over take dilema again with a knaclered tractor. 10 miles total. Same again tomorrow.

In bidding war for replacement SU70

Researching turbo trainers, nearly bought an Elite one as its half price from Halfords

Sore left knee

Diet food all day :(

Research day

No training. Researched turbo trainers. Had useful text msgs off cycling guru Sara who is about to be the CTC adviser on Mamil culling advising turbo trainer over exercise bike. New parts for exercise bike seem unlikely to be available as the tech spec handily emailed has end of line stamped all over it. One has surfaced on ebay but the nice man selling it wants more than my racing bike cost and more than you can buy a refurbished exercise bike for.
Less research more training tomorrow.

New years resolution

Started as I mean to go on, avoided all exercise and stuffed myself on tasty treats.
