Hey Colin,
I was going to post a comment on your blog but it mean signing up for yet another thing...!
Nice read so far (especially as I lay in hospital with a broken leg...) and hope you keep sharing the experience.
BTW, is there a way you can link it into Facebook?
Enjoy the journey! 8)
Cheers,
Eddy

I broke my leg last year and consequently started a blog. Not been updated for a while though. (Blog is in my signature).
Get well soon...0 -

I'll look into that. There is a facebook button on it, but I assume you'd have to be one of my friends.
Anyway - thanks for the comment. Just getting started on it, but will definitely be writing on it every few days. I have a long list of topics I plan to cover!
And I hope you get well soon!
Cheers,

Great blog Pokerface, now about this "No sweets, fattening deserts, alcohol, mince pies or anything else", now come on, a small glass of port and a mince pie surely? You have blinking well earned it.
How many days to go now?0 -

613 to go! (And I can't stand mince pies, although I ate a pack of wine gums and a Kit Kat bar on the way home!) 8)0 -

Brilliant Pokerface - after your comments I will firmly put myself in the recreational rider category - I have sat here eating full dinner, x-mas pudding, chocs, wine and cheese and biscuits.
I stand in the other camp of loving xmas - however your comments about cycling as a distraction post marriage break up strike a real chord and is probably a reason why I am now cycling.
Great blog keep it up.0 -
Well done Colin. Glad to know someone was pounding the roads today. Personally I ate and drank too much and did no training, but then again, I am not planning on being a World or Olympic champion any time soon.
Can I count today as recovery and carb loading for the Royles Supercross on Tuesday? :roll:0 -
I make no excuses, I just got pissed up on booze and ate to much because it's what I do at every opportunity...0

Are you not doing the Wheelers Cross race on Tuesday? Do you actually ride Cyclocross!?
And to anyone with a life/family - you are forgiven for eating and drinking yourself into oblivion today. I would do the same if I could get away with it! :oops:
On the plus side, I am nearing my all-time lowest weight (I mean since I started cycling competitively), Of course, there's still a good 10-12 pounds to go before I reach my goal weight for March. A pound a week should just about cover it.0 -

Yep, I should be riding. That's the Royles Supercross I mentioned. Cyclocross is awesome. Best fun on two wheels, although I can't say I am looking forward to the freezing conditions! I woke up with a sore throat this morning, so hope it isn't the cold that the family have got, otherwise I might have to wimp out.
Good work on the weight control. I'm a good few pounds away from my ideal, but it'll be fine by the summer.0 -
