First month of 'serious ' training and dieting has seen little of both. On the plus side have managed to get over to Leith Hill and done a few laps of Richmond Park, but otherwise not too much cycling. Have officially now got a winter bike, by putting mud-guards and lamps on the Bianchi - just as well as fell off on ice and threw it down the road, would have been pretty upset to see the Cervelo sliding away... bad enough for the Bianchi.

Also, in the good old tradition of finding all sorts of things to do other than cycling, I got the film of the route from Cyclefilm - well worth watching but did worry me a bit about the hills before Ventoux, they seem fairly serious.
