AT LAST! Into the home straight! Less than 200 mile to target. That's a single stage of the TDF (a long one but who's counting!). Of course now the weather is turning nasty so it may not be achieved in a fortnight but at least I now know my targets are achievable. Question will be - what do I set myself for 2012? Extra miles or the same end? I'll have to wait and see how I feel - and it will all depend on when the weather and sunlight allow me back on my bike in the Spring!!

Layers equals Weight Loss
Time on Bike: 1 Hour 29 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 25.66 Miles
Average Speed: 17.3 mph

And now the weight tumbles. It's due ton putting on the winter garb. My base layer seems to make me sweat a lot more than I ever do in the heat of summer and that in turn is shedding the pounds. MBJ won'r be overly happy - last weekend she stripped the bed and paraded the sweat stains on the bed sheets in front of me. I'm a very active sleeper. With all this extra heat evacuating from my pores one can only imagine what the covers will look like next weekend!!!

No More Shorts
Time on Bike: 1 Hour 27 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 23 Miles 14 Minutes
Average Speed: 15.95 mph
Weight: 14st 3lb
Totals: 102 Hours 55 Minutes, 1769.83 Miles, 17.19 mph
So Friday turned out to be my last day in shorts for 2011. With the advent of October proper we now have high winds and coldness. Saying that, this morning I trussed myself up in cold weather gear and then, despite the wind, found it pretty mellow. Does make me sweat though and I think that's going to force some of the excess weight off....
Saturday I went to Bluewater for the first ever time. MBJ had a great time shopping and I even managed to secure the 5th Series of Doctor Who on Blu-Ray for a decent penny. Even met the Silver Fox and Platinum Bunny for lunch!! Delightful.

Committeed

Last night was the first meeting of the new committee. It was fun. I think the Musicals society could be great if it were just committee meetings and we didn't have the hassle of all the rehearsals and the histrionics and prima donnas that go with them!!! MBJ and I actually got some of our own social diary sorted at the same time!! Joy!

October arrives!
Time on Bike: 1 Hour 26 Minutes

Average Speed: 16.24 mph
Weight: 14st 4lb
Totals: 100 Hours 2 Minutes, 1721.74 Miles, 17.21 mph
October has now arrived with a vengeance. This morning the ride in was COLD and WINDY. I now take, what I consider to be, a longer route which passes close to Lavenham church before a stretch of high open road that eventually desceneds to Bridge Street. To say that I felt at times I was being blown backwards is no lie. With the wind behind me I felt like I was flying and then turning a corner I found myself pushing the pedals for all I was worth. What's the betting that by the time I go home the wind has turned - or even died down !!!!

Last night's homeward journey was cut short. Thnks to the audit being in full swing and the Dummer office having some audit guy in from one of the insurers I was strung out and didn't get packed up to go until gone 5, and with it being Tuesday and the day I have the boys over I didn't want to be late home. So I just got on the bicycle and pedalled straight up Tesco Hill.....

Audit Week
Time on Bike: 1 Hour 13 Minutes

Average Speed: 17.5 mph
Weight: 14st 6lb
Totals: 97 Hours 49 Minutes, 1684.76 Miles, 17.22 mph
First of all - I must stop eating cookies. The weight seems to be going back on. Now admittedly I haven't cycled much in the last fortnight (which will be rectified this week - weather permitting) but I'm still eating sensibly for main meals so it has to be the late night cookie.....but I doubt I'll stop, they're too nice!!
Well this is Audit Week. The team of 3 auditors have descended upon the office and I wait each hour with baited breath to see what tricky problems they will set me to solve. Yesterday was a good one as I "found" another £7k of income - which was nice! Roll on Thursday...
