Yes, I'm loving it. And Mrs Bigjohn is firmly onside as well, so I don't get the old raised eyebrows treatment. In fact she's helping me to find the right time to fit a ride in. When we went down to the coast she was fine about doing an hour or so's stop for my ride. She was going to come with me until she saw we were only a mile from the RHS Wisley Gardens so said bugger that, I'll go and look at the begonias and you can ride along the towpaths!
I'm not bothering to measure anything else until I go back to the docs in May (a fair bit lighter, I hope, although I don't think the riding is burning any fat, it's the cutting down on eating and drinking that's doing that.
It was a disastrous weekend for the "units" though. Staying with a few old friends means I supped about 70 units in 4 days. 🙄

Good on you mate. I think I may make sure that I forge same for the next month. I ride an hour most days anyway... Bu
Good luck and just smile through the rain-makes riding more fun!
Don't forget a rest period between rides for recovery and sort out your nutrition!
Go for it!

Jesus H 😯
fair play to you. It has made me feel i little better about my alcohol intake of late, tho there has been extenuating circumstances. Keep it up.
70 in 4 days doesn't take a lot of work. 4 beers, half bottle of wine and a whisky each day just about covers it. They're sneaky little things you know.
22 days with no fails yet.
Last week 1 averaged 89 minutes a day, and it was only yesterday (when I'd spent all day up & down ladders preparing to paint the front of the house) that was a struggle to get myself out. Still, a good 3 hours today, around the Monkey Trail and other stuff.
Units were 76 though, but being away with friends, and Mrs BJ on Easter holidays still didn't help. Should be below 50 this week.
That's week 4 done! Not a hitch so far and an average of 92 minutes a day. I was on for a lot more until my back started playing up. That was more decorating-related I think.
Units - a measly 49. But that doesn't include tonight's quota, so I might have to stick to water.
Three weeks to go!
