Yellow Peril


I am officially trying to single handedly refinance the whole of the economy. As of last week I became the very proud owner of a very yellow Pinarello SL circa 2004/5 with deep set carbon rims.

It is as new with the owner simply having locked it away in a garage and polishing it a lot! The majority of races which I take part in involve quite a few steep hills. I wanted a bike which i could train and race on and I think I have found it. We are off out for our first ride together tomorrow morning... watch this space

Chilly Duathlon


It has been a while since I posted anything. Training has been going really well and I have managed to beat previous race times in both the Tough Ten 10m X country race and Chilly duathlon. What was more impressive was that I trained right up to the event without any rest.

The Chilly was really good, although the conditions were much better than before, it was still really windy which made it difficult out on the bike - finish time was 54mins compared with 59mins in November.
