Not had much to write about recently, mainly because I haven't run a single step since August - Ooops !! But I usually have a big chunk of the year off in the autumn, so not really been missing it.
Bought a new bike on the cycle to work scheme so been getting out on that quite a bit -
For those interested it's a Van Nicholas Mistral frame & fork with mainly Ultegra components with a few FSA bits. It's made of titanium, which is pretty much indestructable, so in theory this should be the last bike I ever buy.
Received an e-mail today from Stan Bland of the WHW organising committee confirming that I have a place in next years race. I don't normally really start training for the race until the New Year, but I'd really like to give 2011 my absolutely best shot, so I guess I should get off my backside and start gently pretty soon. The thought of getting back into race shape is not one I'm particulalry relishing !!
Hi Gav
ReplyDeleteHope you and your support crew (family) are doing well .I've also been given a place, and now looking forward to it . So i'd imagine we'll meet up on some of the training runs next year .
