Life in a spin

Back on it today, spinning class, 1.5 hours intense exercise, hills and drills, many many hills!

Back pain quite muchly.

Man down!

Bad news, nice pocket sized osteopath has insisted that I take at least 48 hours off riding! So had to drop out of tomorrows Red Kite Riders and ease pain in hip caused by too tight something or others with red wine. Fund raising pack from Myeloma UK has arrived and the t shirts match my racing colours. A good sign.
