Yesterdays ride was quite hard, I just did one long spell on the front, into the wind alongside Niel, who was going like stink as usual, and clipping off on his own every now and again. Why does he do that ? Riding as part of the group rather than close to it is better. So anti-social. Felt OK, wasn't really stretched so fitness and stamina are building, which surprised me considering I have missed two whole weekends, and a couple of Sundays too. The weights and turbo work are maybe paying dividends ? Felt tired riding home afterwards though, and quite tired in the afternoon, drove over & collected Dad to see the new car.
Then bought 4 tins of lager and a bottle of wine. Drank the lot, but no crisps, a little bit of cheese. Quite happy to see my weight is now 78.4Kg.
Spoiled that by eating a XL double bacon cheeseburger, large fries and coke at lunchtime. Hmmm. Rest day today, so more booze ? No ! I'm not at the Swallowfield now,
so may do 20 minutes steady on the turbo and some press-ups sit-ups on the big blue ball.
