Negative faff

Cold hands? Wet day? Wind blowing you off your feet? Sick of that annoying ever so critical map setting exercise? Map out, compass out and then the all to common compass leash gets tangled on something....gloves off to sort, hands even colder, curse, gloves back on and finally map set!

Thing of the past my friends, take note.................


Hmm...to much time on my hands?

Lazy blogger......

So here's the thing, yes I have been a tad lazy on the blogging front but not without good reason:

1.) Cycle coaching course - 7 modules complete, out of........7, and nailed them all! Not quite done yet though, still need to present to my club and train a hapless guinea pig.......that'll be Vic then.

2.) Training hard. Well actually training intelligently which actually means a lot less volume and lots more intensity, oh and a diet even Mr. Hume would be proud of.  See the fruits of the training below! Either Hoy quads or poor maintenance, but did this on a climb.


3.) Did an Audax.  200km 8.5 hr's including stops and towed my glycogen depleted mate the last 50K


4.) Buying bling and getting the TT steed ready for the onslaught of 2013.


5.) Putting the house on the market, but not before having some ever so slow builders complete some outstanding work........fruusstrating!

6.) Buying a narrowboat with Vic.  Well looking for a narrowboat with Vic as we can't buy until we sell which will leave some overlap to......move back in with the folks for a couple of months.  Not sure who is more nervous, me or them?
