Two injuries since Christmas means I’ve not been able to race yet.
Only had a painfull pootle today.
Quite sad how down I feel without a good ride.
Plus I’m trying to loose weight.
Got a new roadbike coming as well.
Gagging for some good dry sunny riding.

Cars cleaned, garden manicured, housework done and the missus is off limits.

Even posted a bloomin ‘what tyre’ post.

Know how you feel, but not quite as bad. Ear infection early in the year, followed by Avocadogate, then crashed me bike a few weeks ago, resulted in a shoulder injury. Meant no swimming (winter was not very nice for riding, but swimming was 3 times a week, rain or shine). The other injuries have kept me off the bike and out of the pool, since. I’ve missed a few right good rides, icluding the Quantocks one, and today’s Aleigh + Cinnamon Girl birthday ride (and beer 🙁 ). Did squeeze in a ride at Holmbury Hill, but that’s been it, since January, Apart from a couple of London Pootles.

Went for a 12-mile run up the River Lea earlier, but me shoulder is still a week or two away from off-roading. And I’ll have to take it easy in the pool.

I’m used to being fit and healthy. I’ve grown a ‘winter belly’, and some of me trousers don’t fit anymore. 🙁

MTFU, you depressing pair of fannies………… 😉

Don’t worry, Ton; I’ve been consoling myself with lots of food and beer…

I may make the Ton’s Mansized team yet….
