KB Cycles and Great North Bike Ride 2009
Keith at KB Cycles has in prinicple agreed to sponsor me in the 2009 Great North Bike Ride. I will be riding in the KB strip to try and get a bit of publicity for the shop in the ride also. His new e-commerce website should be launched very shortly, the design of which was done by yours truly.
Burls
Justin Burls at Burls Bikes has posted my review of my Burls bike on his site.
Training
I am still having ankle problems, so after the 20 miles on Tuesday, I rode 10 miles on Thursday and 10 miles yesterday. Yesterday’s 10 miles took just over 29 minutes, a time which is consistently coming down over time.
Weight Loss
After a relatively poor week of food (there seemed to be temptation every where I looked), I have started this week as I mean to go on. The aim is to not let Christmas affect my regime too much, as I want to be down to between 15 and 16 stone by August next year.
As for this week, the aim is to manage 22 miles in order to claim I am halfway to the distance I need for the Great North Bike Ride.
Finally… my fiancee Suzy will be getting a mountain bike for Christmas, so she will be able to come out on leisurely rides when the weather improves!
