Pie and chips - the morning after.

Well after getting my training dates and putting 3lbs on I had our and chips for my tea. In the old days I'd have scoffed the lot but now I can't finish them off.

Anyway stepping onto the scaled today I thought I'd have to take a hit but no change in my weight.

Frosty morning today and currently sat waiting for the car to defrost. Hopefully out for an hour or so on the bike tonight.

Training ride details have arrived!!!!

Well I've got my training dates through for the selection process for LEJOG and I'm a bit gutted that I'll be missing 5 sessions as I'll be training on my own down in Cornwall.

First training session is on 6th March with a nice 2 hour ride pencilled in - hopefully I'll be well on the way to longer rides than that by then.

Also now know that there will be 9/10 riders and we'll be riding continuously and living on a tour bus (not so great).

We need to keep and average of 15mph to complete the ride on time and we'll be doing the ride from 8th - 13th June this year (2011).

One real plus side is the original list of 21 is down to 17 but they are all whippets so hopefully they'll be after someone with a fat arse to shelter them all day long.

Weightloss Update

Well I've cracked the 17.5 stone mark and have to say I was a bit shocked when I saw myself on this photo - bloody good for my ego though.
