Last night was the official read through for Little Shop Of Horrors with full cast. I had lovingly prepared the rehearsal schedule yesterday afternoon using the audition slips which clearly ask people to notify any holidays etc. Imagine my frustration (and mild anger) when people then come to me and notify holidays that weren't on their forms that clash with the scheduling. WHY CAN'T PEOPLE FILL FORMS OUT PROPERLY??? I will now spend another half hour today trying to re-arrange the schedule....

Boil in the Bag
Time on Bike: 1 Hour 2 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 17.88 Miles
Average Speed: 17.3 mph
Weight: 13st 13lb
Totals: 67 Hour 5 Minutes, 1130.05 Miles, 16.84 mph
On Monday I discovered what boil in the bag fish must feel like. With temperatures soaring it took me a good hour to cool down in the morning and a cold shower to help cool down once I'd got home. And did we push it! Jody brought his new £1,600 bike and we hammered the Lavenham journey, hence the reduction in time on bike. I believe the weight loss is also down to the sweat that now weighs down Monday's shirts!!!

Yesterday and today must be the hottest it's been for a while and I chose two forms of exercise that have/had me sweating buckets. Yesterday I took Joe to play Tennis along with James and Tom. Two hours later we were all sweaty and sunburnt. Today I cycle to work and don't even consider easing up because of the heat so now here I am at 9:36 still sweating inside!! Great.

So I get up and look outside and it looks pretty bleak. I take the kids to school and it still looks windy and ominous. I get home, I put on my cycle gear. I think about the portentious weather outside so I put on a long sleeved top over my normal stuff. I get outside and get on the bike. A mile from home, what happens? SUN, warm skin tingling sun, all the way to work. Bugger!

Weight: Forgot
Totals: 62 Hours 20 Minutes, 1047.87 Miles, 16.81 mph
I forgot to weigh myself this morning and it's probably for the best. We had a weekend away that included a visit to the Good Food Show at the NEC and lots of alcohol at my brother's. I've also been tucking away the biscuits at home - which has to stop! I'm probably not much more than last week but there's always that fear of bloating!!!

Before yesterday I was always counting up - trying to attain the 1k as fast as possible. Now I'm counting down with the same obsession and intensity. Thing is I know I'm not just going to stop and get off the bike once I reach zero and whatever I do this year I'll want to beat next year so how do I slow it down and just take it easy? I'll hate it if I'm bringing my average speed down and I don't want to do less miles - it's keeping me trim!!!

With the annual target nearly at the halfway point and the weather improved to allow early evening warmth whilst cycling home it's time to push on with improving my climbing ability. On Monday night I preceded the normal journey home with the Glemsford loop (Melford to Glemsford and back - up Barrow Hill and down the other one!) and with a free evening tonight I plan to take full advantage and do Lamarsh (and maybe Glemsford as well as a warm up!!)

Where on earth did the weight come from? I didn't have a blow out weekend, I didn't really have lunch on Saturday and yet I have still managed to gain weight!! Maybe it's just everything sorting itself out after New York (which reminds me that I did manage three pieces of cheesecake and some Chocolate Fudge Cake over the course of the weekend!!). Hopefully a week on the bike proper will sort everything out - and we're looking at Thursday morning for the magic 1k - excitement!!

Early start today, 7:30 to be precise. Jody's wife is on late shift so he suggested joining him on his trip in since he too is now back on the bike, so I jumped at the opportunity to put him through his paces and have a bit of company. What a great ride it was too - out to Little Waldingfield, over to Monks Eleigh, back to Lavenham, across via Bridge Street to Stanstead and then down into Melford and work for 8:45. Jody looked a bit strung out when we'd stopped as he's only just crested his first 100 mile sof the year!! Good start to the day....will do that again!!

I've just been to New York, so for those of you paying attention this explains the weight gain!! Had a fabulous time, saw all the sights, ate well, got drunk!
Meanwhile the bike went to Matt at Suffolk Cycle Surgery for a Full Monty service and has come back looking great, feeling great and sounding...quiet!! I recommend a complete overhaul once a year, it's like getting a new bike for a fraction of the cost!!!
