    Hehe!


    I have to do a 20 mile run in the morning, marathon training. Not looking forward to it. Sunday over the forest for a walk probably. In between that it's the usual stuff plus a sink that needs unblocking...deep joy.

    I have a rare saturday off, so will try and get out on the bike as the commute in yesterday really shoowed up how my fitness I have lost, will be able to try out my new helmet and gloves so that's a bit more motivation.

    I believe I have nothing to do this weekend,

    However, I believe Mission Control will be redeploying me to fix lots of things that are perfectly serviceable as they are (for a bloke).

    Finally getting the roadbike Whispered tomorrow morning. If I decide to ride back AND make it home before midnight*, I should then rediscover the joys of Sunday morning running, with a greasy fry-up brekkie at the end :)


    *Every time I've been over to Ealing I've managed to get lost on the way back, despite paper maps with the route highlighted in very bright colours :roll:

    Valy, when you put the training in, it's possible :lol:

    Roadbike Whispered. Now need to ride it frequently to get used to it.

    At last!

    Lots of long, hard rides are what you need CW. I find Sunday mornings are best. You feel tired at the end, but have all day to recover.

    And you can banish Babygirl to being just a commuting steed until you realise you prefer to ride the roadbike to work so the hybrid gets sold to finance a new carbon TT bike!
