The countdown begins...

And so, the end is near, no more resting at weekends.

No more late nights on Saturdays and fry ups on Sundays. In 4 weeks time we will be out on bikes again with the first of many weekend training cycles in preparation for this years charity cycle.

Who will fall prey to over-confidence? who will fall prey to my secret weapon? a root ginger muffin and a capuccino. No one can keep up with me on that - at least not for 20 or so miles :-)

The first cycle will be pretty tame by the standards we set last year at the end of the training, but given that none of us have really been out on bikes since then, we'll have to start with a nice flat route and then build up to the same sorts of hills as we used to do. I am sure though that we will soon have that mileage and hill climbing go up.

I'm going to make a more concentrated effort of cycling to work at least twice a week once I am able to maintain at least 14 mph (on a mountain bike thats tough going).
