Winter SUCKS!!!

I hate winter, it's cold, it's dark, I feel miserable!! I just want to sleep, not train!! I want to eat all the carbs i'm supposed to when i'm training but sit on my sofa and grow fatter instead!

I got on my bike once over the bank holiday weekend because of the snow! And even that was inside on the rollers!! I got off after just under 20 minutes, and Grant said, Ok you can stop now but you're only letting yourself down!! Needless to say I got back on and did another 5 minutes!!

Roll on Saturday night and the clocks going forward! I am out on my bike on Saturday and Sunday and then I am bringing my dreaded mountain bike back to Daventry! Mum feels lonely when she goes out training on her own so I am going to go out with her in the week.
Grant said I can't bring the Bianchi back to Daventry because i'd spend half the time waiting for Mum to catch up with me (the bianchi is so much faster than an MTB). So until she gets her road bike I have to train with her on the mountain bike.
So the plan is on Wednesday, for me to cycle from Daventry to Badby and meet Mum and then have a bit of a training session and then i'll cycle back! Or Mum can come to Daventry and we can train there!

So on Wednesday if you see any cyclists please be kind and not gits - like the 2 guys I saw in a white van recently. They were on the opposite side of the road to me and they beeped their horn and stuck their fingers up! To them i say **** *** *** *******!!!Add your own expletives!!

Oh and I want to say thanks to Mello Office Supplies who have sponsored me!! I will be wearing a Mello t shirt for at least part of my trip!!

Thanks for reading!!
