Training not so good this week, poor excuses include – weather and 65th birthday. First training target missed but it was my birthday – will try very hard not to miss any more. The weather is not now a very good excuse as I have spent some of the Wiggle vouchers I got for my birthday on a new Goretex jacket and some gloves and waterproof trousers. Will give the new gear a trial run this week – bound to be a wet day.

Still no discount advance booking train tickets to Penzance but they must be available this week.
Weight loss slowed down this week again – blame birthday night out at the Indian. Still noticing good improvements on the rides I did last week and put a lot down to weight loss.
Next big target is the New Forest sportive on Saturday 8th April – 82 miles. This happens in the week 9 to go so will do some longer rides in weeks 10 & 9.
