tram lines dam tram lines,ouch.came to an abrupt stop out side castle college friday night ,elbow,hip and back a little tender to say the leasest,helmet smashed but thank god i was wearing it,thats me of the bike for a while,but il be back,was doing so well with my training and wieght loss hope its not too long or il be back at stage one,
i was always scepticle about wearing helmets not from now on im converted

put recumbent away for winter,road bike out new brooks pro saddle,forgot how painfull breaking a new saddle is ouch.
lost 21 lb so far and legs are feeling pretty good mind still over 17 stone so a long way to go yet,all this training is keeping me from pub so that may be why im losing weight.
bought a trailer to carry camping gear ebay is such a wonderful place, although julie the wife dosn't think so

just had two weeks in cornwall in caravan,took bike with me 8 miles every morning may not sound alot at side of what i need to do but had to start somewhere,and it hurt at first.but by the end of day 14 i was getting used to the recumbent and my legs felt better.
from now on im out every day on bike to put some miles in my legs

had an idea for a number of years to cycle lands end to john o groats.this idea started back in the late 70's when i was a keen cyclist and fit.time has some what changed that and now at near on 19 stone and 48 yrs old its a crazy idea to attempt it,
but with the loss of my mother and 5 friends over the last 12 months it coming to the point of now or never,well may 2011 my 50Th year to be more accurate,gives me 22 months to train,get fit loose weight,
picked a charity st Luke's Sheffield ,just bought a recumbent trike so it looks like its hard graft from now on.
one slight change its now john o groats to lands end jogle always was an awkward sod
