I'm all aches and pains this morning having spent a good part of Sunday replacing borders in our garden. With only 6 beds you wouldn't think it would take all that long but these things have to be done right so you don't have to repeat yourself in a couple of years time!! Wrist aches from screwdriving, arm aches from sawing and hammering.
It was a relief this morning to get abck on the bike and feel the aches and pains in my legs instead. Felt so nice to ride towards Acton in the cool morning air!!

Drizzle. Not like you get on a lemon cake but the stuff from the sky. Waterproofs on but although you could feel it on your face (my face!) you didn't really get that wet! Just hot!

Center Parcs
Time on Bike: 50 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 13.50 Miles
Average Speed: 16.2 mph
Weight: 14st 1lb
Totals: 13 Hours 25 Minutes, 213.66 Miles, 15.92 mph
A short break has just been spent at Center Parcs in Thetford. It was a welcome respite from normal life and I managed to play Badminton, Golf, have a massage and do their Aerial Challenge (tree assault course!). Took the bikes but with MBJ breaking her elbow on Friday evening whilst roller skating and me twisting my ankle before we'd even left home we didn't really get much use out of them. luckily our "shed" (as Mr Smalley refers to them) was as close to the amenities as we could have wished so we weere able to walk most places.
Of course being away from home any hope of a balanced diet was dashed as soon as we sat down in Cafe Rouge on Friday lunchtime and copious amounts of grease and alcohol made their way into my temple!! Good times.
Took it easy yesterday and used the guzzler but back to the pedal today - ankle feels reasonably good, weather is a bit warmer, life's a challenge.

Ten Percent (10%)
Time on Bike: 48 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 12.96 Miles
Average Speed: 16.2mph
Weight: 13st 11lb
Totals: 12 Hours 35 Minutes, 200.16 Miles, 15.90 mph
Well that's the first ten percent of the target out of the way. In four weeks as well which is very rewarding. I intend to up the mileage once the warmer weather gets here so that during the summer I won't feel bad about going on holiday for a couple of weeks!! I would hope that come May / June I'm actually doing about 100 miles a week anyway - especially during school holidays when I don't have to pick the kids up and take them in...

Re-Snap

Average Speed: 16.2 mph
Weight: 13st 12lb
Totals: 11 Hours 47 Minutes, 187.20 Miles, 15.88 mph
The cold returned this morning but despite the sub zero temperature (according to the car as I drove the kids to school) it didn't feel all that bad. Admittedly my hands had started to ache by the time I got to the office but once the gloves were off and the heating did it's work I felt good.
The weight addition from the weekend had also dropped back off so I have hope for this weekend and my 4 day visit to centreparcs and the alcohol that it will be necessary to consume (honest!).

Spring is here!

Average Speed: 16.2 mph
Weight: 14st
Totals: 10 Hours 57 Minutes, 173.70 Miles, 15.86 mph
A weekend of two curries has seen some of the weight go back on. I can't be disappointed since I sat round friends on Saturday night and ate home made profiteroles like they were going out of fashion.
Spring is peeping through today! Sun's out and air is mildly warm. Let's hope it lasts for the rest of the day and I get a decent ride home!!

Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud
Time on Bike: 42 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 11.33 Miles
Average Speed: 16.2mph
Weight: 13st 12lb
Totals: 10 Hours 7 Minutes, 160.19 Miles, 15.83 mph
My waterproofs, my foot guards and some of my actual clothing is now all covered in mud. With the return of inclement weather and positively dull afternoon / evenings I curtailed my route home, taking in the Acton loop. On arriving at the descendant part of the course I was greeted with makeshift farmer's sign that read - MUD ON ROAD. Great! Of course whilst riding through you don't really notice but when I got home my foot protectors were brown and there was a wide muddy stripe up my back.
It's cold again as well. I could honestly do with some rain tonight to wash things down a bit!
