Jerseys and updates

Golly! won't we look smart! These are to be delivered to my sicky little hands in the very near future. Think I'm going to wear it all the time. So big thanks to Andy at Amersham Road Cycling Club for putting up with the barage of emails about them. And thanks to Inverse for making them - although by all accounts they liked them so much they had some themselves - cheeky!

Still trying to do 2 rides, 2 runs and 2 swims during the week. Makes me pretty tired on Monday (rest day), but it seems to be paying off. I'm still averaging around 150miles a week riding. Still trying to make the pool swims more interesting, breathing every nine strokes helps, but makes my legs go like jelly after a few lengths though - not sure it actually gives any fitness benefit either. Still hate running - but I do actually go.

But the best thing is I have joined the league-of-the-new-bike. Perhaps not as bling-bling as either Tims or Richards nor a shiney as Simons. But it is a new bike. And its fixed gear! And it is brilliant to ride, once i got used to spinning like a nutter. I am now trackstanding at every light and skip-stopping when the need/desire arrises. Such good fun, its like learning to ride all over again.

Things to do:
  • Buy a proper bike that actually goes fast
  • Do a triathlon this season
  • Book a holiday
  • Learn to wheelie the fixie
  • Learn backwards riding (yes, on the fixed)
  • Get some major publicity
  • Continue with the training

Until next time...
