Today was the first fall, the first time I've crashed off the bike. Coming round the corner in Lavenham the smooth road surface, the wet roads and my speed (and to some extent my over confidence) all contributed to the wheels skidding out from unedr me and me taking a slide along the road. One grazed hip, elbow and knee later. All my clothing has to show for it is a small hole in the knee of my trousers and the black muck of the road up my sleeve! Have tended to my injuries and am now starting to feel the bruising in my back and collarbone. Don't think I'll be going to badminton tonight, certainly not after I've cycled home!!

Back for 2012
Time on Bike: 48 Minutes (not)
Distance: 10.31 Miles (again not)
Weight: 14st 9lb
Totals: As above
First time out this year and the figures do contain about 3 miles from the tail end of 2011. But it's only fair I give myself a head start as I did do about 2.5 Hours on an off road bike at the start of February which I have no other record for apart from pictures of me caked in mud!!
This morning was tough! I was packed up like a donkey heading into the hills and the bike was keen to show me that 4 months break was too much to just slip comfortably back into the saddle. I ended up on the small cog just to keep the legs spinning. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll get some form back and lose some of the puppy fat!!
Targets - 2000 Miles (I've decided not to be over ambitious!). 14st exactly.
