Today is 16 Oct 22. Time to review the purpose of this Blog - again! It is 2 years since the last review. 🤕 2022 was shaping up well and I was on track for a decent middle distance Duathlon race. Then COVID hit me! I tried to salvage the race season but never felt strong or healthy. Looking to 2023 now and focussing on being healthy and some sprint Duathlon racing mixed with some bike TT fun on the Canyon CF

I'm Back!


Long time, no Blog! But back now and on-line at home too. This is my first week at work and I have to get across Bristol to get to my hot desk! Diving is a complete mare! So, it's a 10 mile commute on my bike each way. No matter how easy I try and ride, the hills take their toll! The ride is laden with traffic but there are some nice bits too. I ride over Clifton Suspension Bridge each day and the view is cool (it's more like howling icy wind at the moment!).

After the chaos of moving house, I am finding it hard to get back into the routine I had previously. Commuting to work make things different but it's the fatigue from moving that I am finding tough to shake off. I wonder if I can use this excuse during the race season?!

The area here is actually great terrain for training. I live a 10 min jog from Ashton Court estate, which is awesome for running. There seems to be a huge amount of serious cyclists everywhere. I may venture out with BAD Tri this weekend. Also, I have Sam Wright and Frank here to train with. Carl Rice (decent runner) is also here so I hope to get dragged round.

Good to be back. Not long until race season. . . . EEKKKKKKKKKKKK!

Welcome back buddy. I'm sure you'll slip back into the routine like a ... slippery thing ... er ... slipping in to something ... er ... slippery???

You understand what I mean!

Only 3 months to the Black Rat; no pressure.

You're right mate, there always seems to be loads of cyclists in Bristol - especially commuting. It's supposed to be an official Bike City or something.
