Mountain bike decisions
Help me out with my mountain bike purchasing decision!
Week Four in Review
Hours upped via longest bike ride to date, and reduced by a pound.
Swimmingly ok.
I’ve been threatening to go swimming for a while now and for christmas/birthday I kitted myself out with some swimming items, namely a waterproof mp3 player and some über goggles.
A good thing about swimming is the lack of equipment required. Of course, when I start doing open swimming, I will need a wetsuit and they [...]
Manchester to Blackpool Ride 2010 – A thought
Thinking about the 2010 Manchester to Blackpool bike ride.
Oh well – Week 1 review
Successful first week of increased exercise regime, not so successful on the weight area!
Weekly training updates
Just got back from circuit training. It was more difficult than I imagined. I was generally left in the dust created by several pensioners using their zimmer frames. Some work needed here I think.

Trying out new bike stuff
Saturday morning saw a brief gap of several hours where the sun was almost visible and the rain let up, so I thought it best to take advantage and go for a quick ride on the bike. I haven’t been out since I bought a few new items including my new saddle, so a test [...]
Damn, I stopped blogging for a bit there….
But the good news it’s only temporary!
So much has happened, so many potential blogs and blog subjects, but I haven’t posted for ages.
I need to update the old Diet Club information, in which I’ve lost 2lbs and some centimeters.
I’ve done some bike rides with Joby, some other bloke and Lost.
I’ve been to the gym and [...]
The First Rule of Diet Club…..
…. is to lose weight, obviously. I am however at liberty to talk about diet club. In fact we, the exclusive members of diet club, are encouraged to shout about Diet Club as mush as possible as a means of encouraging the weight loss. “Look at me everybody, I’m a fat bastard! Yes, I know [...]
