London to Paris - Training

I've lost weight! I thought I'd weigh myself yesterday and I normally come in between 80 - 81kg. This time 79.2kg! A bit less to haul between London and Paris. Although this evening I've been a bit of a pig and had 3 slices of pizza BEFORE eating my tea.

Must be the excitement; on Thursday I'm joining a couple of colleagues who work in our Gloucester office on their ride from Halifax to Gloucester. We're doing it on mountain bikes. Who knows why? (I nearly swore then, but my wife has told me off for the swearing earlier on. I hope nobody was offended and I did put *** in place of some of the letters!)

We're doing the 170 miles over two days; Thursday and Friday. My mountain bike has massive knobbly tyres and I've never ridden it more than about 40 miles in one go so I'm just a little nervous. Will be interesting to see how this crock of a body stands up to that and will be a good test for the actual event.

Unless there is some more breaking news, I won't be posting anything else until Saturday. I may have some more pictures of that event for my growing fan base and will post them here.

Oh, by the way, I got my camo shorts from Halfords last year. Thanks for showing an interest.

Don't forget to click on the adverts - especially Wellman and VitaBiotics.

Finally, I'm posting this at 18:05 and not 09:54 - honest Stuart, we can't get access at work!
