Only out once again this week... difficult week due (a) to St Pats day and (b) final of six nations. Very good lunch in Corrigans of Mayfair, though the service is diabolical - I've been there three times now and its so bad don't think I'll be going back.
Fantastic final match of six nations, Ireland taking, IMHO a deserved victory, by the skin of their collective teeth. Was hoping to get out on Sunday after the match but was feeling a bit tired with all the excitement.
Weather, lovely now though, very spring like, so should be more options for getting out on the bike. Thought now turning to Mallorca.... may be able to get down there for a week.

Better this week, the weather has really improved so a couple of outings plus a spin session in London. Out with Rupert and Ben for the usual route, Ben faster than us combined with another 'Tour de France' rules, ie points on the hills meant we got around in a very fast time despite windy conditions.

Only one outing this week but it was our first sportive of the season, The Surrey Rumble. 78 miles around the surrey hills including a skirt around Leith Hill. We managed a very respectible 16.5 mph average and at the 50 mile mark it was nudging 17mph. Mainly due, it has to be said, to our very own Brian O'Driscoll, Paul, who, whenever the pace was slackening would head to the front and up the pace for mile after mile. I felt pretty good apart from a bad patch at about 40 miles when I felt like I had no energy... but the
boys looked after me and after a while I felt fine again. Got to keep eating on the ride....

Monthly roundup - February 2009
Miles this month 81

Total miles this year (delta last year): 198 (-196)
Weight change -2lb (15st 1lbs)
Body fat change : 26% (+0%)

very poor month for cycling, partly due to the weather, partly due to spending more time in London during the week. Spring is definitely in the air though, so feeling much more confident about March. No plans yet for a week cycling holiday so must start thinking of that... Stephen Roche would be an obvious choice again but we are having our summer weekend there with the RPRC so perhaps try something different.

A bit better, cycling on Saturday and Sunday but nothing during the week again. Pete was over and we met up with Rupert for usual circuit from Well followed by a couple of beers and a great beef lunch prepared by Ros... Decided to introduce a Tour de France scoring system this time for the 6 'hills' on the ride, plus one sprint. Great fun and really added to the interest in the ride.

Nothing to say, disappointing, can't call myself a cyclist... however, for some reason lost a fair bit of weight, not sure why but there you go.. under 15stone for first time in a long time, now lets keep it there.
