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!!!

Paul

Time on Bike: 52 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 14.03 Miles
Average Speed: 16.2mph
Weight: 13st 10lb

Totals: 7 Hours 22 Minutes, 115.64 Miles, 15.69mph

Last night I went to see Paul, the new Frost and Pegg film, with Julian. We preceded our viewing with a meal at Giraffe in Bury St Edmunds. Nice restaurant, pleasant staff, decent food at affordable price (£9.95 for 2 courses - who could complain) and a funny, watchable film where the CGI alien was very well delivered!
But despite the meal out and the slice of fruit cake when I got home I have still dropped another pound in weight. Weird. This has also been supplemented by the arrival of a spot/boil/pimple (call it what you will!) on the end of my nose. Greatness!
Feel like the strength is now returning to my legs and the last two rides (last night and this morning) I have pushed as best I can. desparately want to get the mph back up to where I finished last season so I can feel I'm starting properly to gain fitness, power etc.
