Well the cool air is back and I covered back up. It felt better than whizzing along in the cold though! The weight continues to drop. It's not like I'm not eating either! I yhave to assume it's the extra energy expended on the daily journaeys and come the end of the Easter break when the daily mileage drops back to 13.5 the weight will go back on!
Not about the bike - Last night was audition time for 'Allo 'Allo. Some were good, some were poor, one was disappointing and one was brilliant. That's all I'm willing to say!!

Return of Mr Freeze
Time on Bike: 1 Hour 7 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 18.65 Miles
Average Speed: 16.7 mph
Weight: 13st 13lb
Totals: 31 Hours 40 Minutes, 512.65 Miles, 16.18 mph
After two days out of the saddle - I don't cycle on Tuesdays and yesterday was a Board meeting in Basingstoke! - I returned to a colder, wetter trip in. Recent warm weather meant I still got up and put the shorts on but my legs still feel cold now after being in the office for half an hour. It was also trying to spit so I went with the waterproof top but felt my bottom half could cope!!
On the weight front I was surprised this morning by that fact that the 13/13 I have registered above is very close to a 13/12 and miles away from a 14. I will have to keep an eye on this as I think dropping into the 11 - 12 lb region isn't ideal. I look better with some weight on - honest!

Feels Like Summer
Time on Bike: 2 Hours 55 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 48.14 Miles
Average Speed: 16.5 mph
Weight: 13st 13lb
Totals: 30 Hours 33 Minutes, 494 Miles, 16.17 mph
Well the sun came out and didn't it feel like summer? Went out for two hours on Sunday with only a short sleeved top on! The only foolish part was that I had breakfast (just a bowl of cereal) at about 9:30 am and then did some odd jobs about the home (varnishing the deck - that sort of thing!) which meant I didn't go out until just after noon and I hadn't taken on any more food. About 90 minutes into the ride I was feeling weak! Still completed a full tour of Bures, Lamarsh, Henny, Borley, Foxearth, Cavendish, Long Melford, Acton and Great Waldingfield !!! Joy!

Allo Allo
Time on Bike: 1 Hour 7 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 19.04 Miles
Average Speed: 17.05 Mph
Weight: 13st 13lb
Totals: 27 Hours 38 Minutes, 445.86 Miles, 16.13 mph
We had the read through for Allo Allo last night. It was great to see everyone at Coggeshall again and I'm looking forward to directing this one. A few new faces and lots of familiar ones.
On the bike, with the kids staying with their Nan, I've been able to take a longer route in and am well on the way to satisfying my monthly mileage requirement despite only having 3 days on this week. With any luck I can bank a few miles ready for next month when there will be a lot of rest days thanks to holidays and shows!!

SHORTS!!!!!
Time on Bike: 49 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 13.73 Miles
Average Speed: 16.8 mph
Totals: 26 Hours 31 Minutes, 426.82 Miles, 16.09 mph
I wear cycle shorts now, cycle shorts are cool!
With this sudden arrival of warm weather it was delightful to search out the shorts today for the first time this year. I'm sure the weather won't hold and I'll be back in the full body gear before you can say supercallafragilisticexpialadocious BUT make hay while the sun shines!!!!

20 Percent
Time on Bike: 1 Hour 18 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 21.50 Miles
Average Speed: 16.53 mph
Weight: 14st
Totals: 25 Hours 42 Minutes, 413.09 Miles, 16.07 mph
On the way home on Friday I hit the 20 percent point (400 miles!), not only that but I also clocked another 1000 in total since purchase (which I guess means I've done 2014.83 miles to date on this machine!). This in turn means the bike computer reset to zero so now my average speed will fluctuate violently for a week or so until it settles down to a new common denominator! It's started at 16.8 for the 53 minutes so far travelled and the hope is to maintain somewhere around 16.5 - 17 which will be a marked improvement on last year. HOWEVER - once I get the time to put in some serious hill work I'm sure this will tumble so I'll make the most of these early days!!

And The Blustery Day
Time on Bike: 1 Hour 25 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 22.95 Miles
Average Speed: 16.2 mph (Still?)
Weight: 13st 13lb
Totals: 24 Hours 24 Minutes, 391.59 Miles, 16.05 mph
Last night I was blown from pillar to post, or in other words, from Sudbury to Bures and back again. Unfortunately for the most part the wind was blowing into my side or face so I didn't really get the benefit of a wind assisted ride! On the plus side I completed the Lamarsh loop without getting out of the saddle a single time, proving once and for all that once you start putting hills into your legs, your legs soon remember how to put into hills!!!
