Has it really been the end of January since I last posted? That's RUBBISH!
Quite a bit has happened since then, some good, some bad!
The good has been a steady increase in my riding, not as much as I'd like bit I feel I've got a reasonable turn of speed. My confidence on the bike has been increasing too: I dropped my handlebars a few cm and it's seems to have had a pronounced effect on the stiffee's handling! Happy days indeed.
The bad has been rather catastrophic though. A loss of motivation to go running has been the biggest one. Don't know why but it was around the time my main pc died and I lost my training log for the year so far; trying to regain my mojo! The biggest downer I've had though was over the last week: the Muddyarse crew had a road trip to Wales. Got there Friday and had a good couple of hours on the trails. Up Saturday and 20 minutes in to the ride on the Wall decent I had a major crash, falling around 40 feet down the mountain side! Lots of heavy scrapes and heavy bruising and a few battered ribs :0( unfortunately, the bike is fubar! A heavily taco'd rear wheel, a snapped front brake lever; I've had those brakes for 11 years!!! And a cracked and dented helmet. Just goes to show; where a helmets kids, it might save your neck when you least expect it!So, now waiting for things to heal and get fixed then a hard end of may and June to prepare for 24/12! I'll post some pics when I get to the laptop, and I'll definatley start posting regularly!
Till then, cheers y'all!
Jim
