Guilty pleasure
I went out on the mighty DPNC ride today,,,, Its a mixed bag for me, always a really friendly bunch, plenty of banter, get to ride with old friends, And burn off a shit load of calories,,,,Then on the flip side, a 4hr ride means being out the house for 6 hrs, normally takes about 1hr to get over there and the same to get back, sometimes I ride back, but its a shit ride back via croydon, sutton, cheam all in the mid day traffic(chavaramma),,,, Its a slow ride never more than 26/27kph ave, lots of junk miles ,just sitting in the bunch talking shit, low power output, low heart rate etc etc,,,,, But I can't knock it, I really enjoy going out on this ride as I have made many friends . And sold a ton of cycling gear to half of them!!!!
Todays stats
99.7 kms
26 kph ave
1100m elevation gain
Power ave 169 5min best 313 10min 276 30min 212 1hr 199

Dropped quicker than a size 16 model
I decided to have a shot at the Dulwichparagon womens/beginners chaingang last night!!!! What a kick in the balls, no women or beginners,,,,, ideally I was hoping for a load of size 8, early 20's decent fanny.
Even with the lack of quality fanny on show I thought fuck it, I will still go out and ask some of the younger lads if there sisters might come along next week.
We set off at a steady pace, after a shocking 20 minutes I was fucked, after 32 minutes I was heading home!!!!! I truly have no idea what went wrong, Just never had any gas in the tank, ?????? I have done very little riding over the last 6 weeks and picked up a wee bit of weight????? So basically I'm a fat fucker who needs to ride more
Stats for the ride are
14.2 kms
power ave 252
weight 89.2kgs
I will have another bash next week, Try and get a bit further, and get a few more digits/stats from the ride.

Its been a busy 6 months
The last 6 months have seen many changes for me.
From 16st to 13st yes that's right 104kgs to 87kgs.
From one peaceful little baby bear to one peaceful little baby bear and one naughty little toddler yes that's right 2 baby's bears now.
From a slow fat fucker on a flash bike to a slow fat fucker on a flash bike yes that's right no change.
From 261 watts 20 min ave power to 321 watts 20 ave power.
From working 60 hrs per week to watching Jeremy Kyle and homes under the hammer.
From struggling to change brake blocks to having a small cycle workshop.
So what next ???? I always said if I could get under 87kgs I would start to race, So my main plan is to pick up a couple of KGs!!!!!!
No I'm going to take a couple of months off then hopefully start training then racing the winter series at hillingdon with the view to doing a few more races and the Marmotte 2010
1st wheel in under 1hr
16st 4lbs August 08 more chunk than hunk( still got the wife up the duff)

Ok 2009 is almost here, the last couple of months I have been back in the saddle, Its been slow,,,really slow 23/24kph ave speed sort of rides.
2009 and its LEJOG via Ireland for me!!! 19th July I will leave Lands end and make my way to JOG via Ireland, its looking like almost 2000kms in 10 days.
I have also signed up for the dragon ride, and planning to get a few other events in before LEJOG,,, La marmotte would be my first choice but at 102kgs, 5000ms of climbing is a pipe dream

I'm back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I've haven't posted in ages, been a busy year for me, Baby, pram,breast pumps etc,etc
I can honestly say I didnt miss the riding, It was great to wake up, scratch my balls and turn back over and not have to worry abou keeping up with that fat fucker GT
so whats the plan??????? not really sure, try and get back into some sort of shape, plenty of long slow rides over the winter, then plan my 2009,,,,,,,,,,,,, Thinking GF Felice Giamondi, GF Campag, maybe a bit of touring"route des grande alpes" would love to spend a week with the bike in the great lakes.
