Its been a good week (so far)


So far so good, i should clock up over 300kms this week, I have cycled to/from work 3 times this week 45kmx3 =135 all on the fixie, I'm starting to really enjoy riding the fixie. No polar sensors on it, been trying to pick up a speed and cadence sensor of ebay no joy yet, If anybody has a speed+cadence sensor for s-series polar HRM get in touch


Going out early on Saturday with a few friends from Dulwichparagon 90-100kms, I'm going to work on my cadence try and getting it up a few RPM, I'm still only putting in the slow miles, feeling good for it.

Sunday i plan to head down to the Surrey hills on my own for 80-90kms, avec mp3 I have stuck loads of music on to my Ipod, mostly 90's indie stuff that i havent listened to in ages, stone roses, definitely maybe, parklife, all change, moseley shoals etc etc, Plus a couple of new albums, Razorlight,Jamie T,Klaxons, Tokyo police club.

My cycling calender is filling up fast, so far

  • May Gran fondo felice Gimondi

New wheels

My new wheels are here, just in time for crimbo
I will get some pictures up over the christmas break, planning to get out on a long slow on Saturday, 80/100kms from crystal palace, I also plan to get out for a couple of hours on Christmas day (i might even try and get a couple of pictures), I will be in the land of the Gods and Greats, hopefully it will not be too windy, the wind is a massive pain in the arse up there, something that you never really think of when riding in Kent or Surrey
