My MTB SCOTT REFLEX FX 25

Couldn’t believe that I hadn’t put a post of my MTB on here before. Although it may be 3 years old already I need to blog it just so I have a record of what I actually own. Haven’t been riding it much lately but have spotted a nice place to do some exercises down […]

Commuting

“A warrior…feeds his body well; he trains it; works on it. Where he lacks knowledge, he studies. But above all he must believe. He must believe in his strength of will, of purpose, of heart and soul.” …by David Gemmell Been a long time since I had ridden to work. A nice cool Northerly made […]

Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater

The diet is coming along well. No hunger pains. No sugar or caffeine withdrawals. Down 2kg. Lots of energy. Enough energy to get me out to training tonight. Only 2 other guys and I did 5 laps by myself then 2 with the speedsters then a few again by myself. Felt alive for a change. […]

December Detox

Have sworn off end of year Christmas parties in order to get a head start on New Year’s Resolutions. For the last 3 days have been on fruit and veggies. (except for a little salami for dinner day 1 & 2). Lots of apples, pumpkin, spinach, tomatoes, onion, eggplant, hot water with ginger, garlic…and a […]

Here Comes The Bride

Been lazy as well as overworking, if that is possible. Lazy in that I’ve not been able to ride. And I’ll throw in excuses like rain, work, rain & more work. My bronchial cold lingered with lots of coughing for about 3 weeks, with headaches every second day. A friend said I gave them the […]

Getting Cold

Been sick with a whooping like cough, slight fevers and little riding. May also be starting a new weekend job which will cut into all this free time I’ve had off for the last 5 years. Guess who’s going to be a Wedding Celebrant? Money’s good and it won’t be every weekend. (I hope). Since […]

Japan Cup 2010

Garmin controlled the race all day. Looks like they had a big enough team with specialist riders that suited the course. The smaller teams couldn’t break free. The other big name teams didn’t have enough depth. Was a nice 90 odd kilometer ride up in the morning. 6 a.m start and we went up the […]

New bar tape

Had my bar tape starting to come loose as it had stretched a lot. Being white and dirty plenty of excuses to take a ride down the river to Seo Shin Matsudo and get some old school black tape. Today 32.33 km Yearly total: 3967.89km Daily average:? Daily average goal: 33.71 km

Japan Cup Tomorrow

Been slack and have not updated my rides of late. Usually happens this time of year when the cold creeps in. Going to have a big ride tomorrow though and a short one today. 100km ride from home with a few guys from the Apex team. Train home with onsen and a few beers to […]
