Holidays....

Thought I would use the above title as I feel like I've had a hols from cycling lately with gulp....other commitments and trying new things (and the minor fact we are off to Kos next week)

Have been out with Jay a couple of times and enjoyed a long swinley ride boy the trails are fast good fun but already have braking bumps?! On a professional level at work I have seen the negative of Swinley lots with some nasty fractures and dislocations.....People check your speed and look up there as its faster than you think!

So I went to the darkside and did some off road running and assault course at the brill Henfold
Lakes Dorking talk about black and blue but I loved it and now want to deco build up my off road running bravery here is a sample of me and the work gang who were all troopers. Was really chuffed at the gym got a surprise award for doing so well, and I finally broke 80 kg am now 77kg whoop whoop. Planning to run on my hols hopefully then start preparing for AYTE in July, Torq 12 in Aug and maybe the Nuts Challenge in Sept..... And on a signing out note my poor son has a broken collar bone a real bikers injury bless him but no bikes involved yet he's far too young lol will get a picky of his X-ray for him I'm a very proud mum of my brave soldier

time management...or should it be lack of??

things hve been a bit hectic now my very mobile toddler is wanting to do things constantly, I have managed to ride a bit but it takes the precision planning of an army major!! Did try out a bit of Swinley with the phillipino boys recently but it was bloody freezing and full of slush with the temp at least 0 degrees so found it hard to enjoy a 5 hr jaunty. The night riding has been sparse due to work constraints but hoping to do the old men and womens ride with THT tonight. Managed a 3.5 hr blast yesterday of Caesars, Ash and through up to Porridge just mainly hills to get faster and fitter. I can really see a difference from the gym work now with the start of abdominal muscles on me which is worth the hard work. Have also crossed to the dark side of Protein Shakes to try to shed more weight off. As for racing no time and am away in Kos for the ones I planned to do (what a shame lol) but am toying with doing Erlestoke either 6 or 12 hours not commited yet will decide after a nice Sunny holiday I think!!
