    And I was doing so well on avoiding calories. Sure I read somewhere about a 80/20 good/bad training regime. Think I can manage a couple.

    Timings? I'll try and make it.
    What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    Yes :roll: I HAD similar thoughts about cutting back but then there was the little matter of several cases of unopened xmas plonk that urgently need some attention :oops:

    Still switching from beer to wine for 1 week and i lost 2.5lbs

    Would a new(ish) face be welcome? I PT'd today so would be easy to come over without bike in tow. Is there an easy way to recognise people or is it obvious? :)

    Now come on we all know you don't really exist ;-)

    As for me I got distracted by the bright lights of the pub next to the station and next thing you know here I am drinking ramsbury gold by the fire.

    Dressed I might add head to toe in Rapha, natch!

    I took a detour to pass by the Morpeth at around 8ish. I spent more time locking up my bike than I did in the pub.
    I guess I should have checked on here before the detour.

    Sorry but not tonight. However if you want to keep going to Twickenham I'll be in the Cabbage patch from around 6pm drinking and then watching the Connacht vs Harlequins game from 8.
