Weight loss this week only 1 pound so now a bit behind schedule so must try harder, I think I said that last week. If I can reduce my weight by about one and a half stone over the next 15 weeks it will make a substantial difference to the ride in June. Hills play a big part in Cornwall, Cumbria and Scotland so any weight loss can only be a good thing.
Signed up this week to do the New Forest sportive on the 8th April. This is 83 miles so should be a good guide to where my training has got to.
In the coming week the target is 10 hours with, if possible, at least 2 rides. Also must take weight loss a bit more seriously.
