A nice ride out...

Well it was a hard, Level 3/4 ride of 16.6 miles in an hour and eleven minutes around Denham and Uxbridge. On my return I did two sets of squats with the Buffalo Bar for a total of 36 - I am sure my legs are not going to like me in the morning!!

Having said that it was a nice sunny day and the rides are getting easier on the legs - but the Butt still huts....

Why Me?


Jason being thoughtful towards the end of a family trip to Osterley Park a lovely National Trust house and garden in West London.

Somehow this was all too much fun for Jason, who had to site and contemplate what it all means - while the rest of us just enjoyed ourselves.....

Friday Ride

Things are starting to get easier, today's ride was a nice ten miles in 48 minutes on my Roberts Audax bike. The good news is that I am starting to feel better with my cycling, my pedalling is getting more fluid and I am able to go along at lower heart rates - I am trying to keep to the upper 120s (but am getting into the 140s on even flattish hills). Oh well keep building the volume and I should start to feel better and loose some weight!
