Aah, with the New Year has come a bit of ground rush.. reasonable week for cycling, got out three times, but going up one of the local short hills I thought 'who am I trying to kid?'. Got to get a bit more serious or this is not going to happen.

Had another look at a very encouraging blog from last year(see Rick's Etape), he managed to loose 3 stone and started from where I am now. As a start am going to try and stay off the booze all through January, one week in already so only three to go. Also, no more milky coffees. Have a horrible feeling its going to take more than that.

One of my rides was aborted due to a puncture (again) knew I should have replaced that rear tyre. Also, getting my priorities right and been practicing riding no hands, so I can get that classic arms raised victory photo as I cross the line at the end of the Etape. Proving difficult though.
