Its been a while since I updated whats going on with me but here goes...
Since May I have been slightly distracted with a new job and though I have had every intention and motivation to get out on the bike it hasn't happened like I would wish and add in the Welly weather and my lack of adequate winter clothing and its been abit of a disaster. Towards the end of May I meet with one of the Revolve ladies who set me up with a cycle and fitness five month programme to get me to a reasonable condition to have a go at Round Lake Taupo. Well I started out well but then crumbled fast so during June I managed only 4 outings with the target supposed to be 8 outings. One positive aspect was I did keep up the gym workouts side of things.
So I am starting again and today went out for a nice little 40k ride and though I still need to get better clothing it felt good. However, I did freeze and by the time I had got back to Miramar I had to stop and get a takeaway cup of tea(which is like so uncool as apparently cyclists drink coffee!!) This week I am off to icebreaker and also to get new shoes and booties. I am going to watch the Tour de France as well so that will be hugely inspirational and motivational...I hope.
PS I managed to lose a little bit of weight over the last couple of months and got to say it does make life easier getting up the Brooklyn Hill.
