Ice Ice Baby ....

Alright... I have decided to start writing again, despite my obvious lack of style... I am not much of a writer.

I have been pretty quiet with my cycling lately due to injuries. I broke my wrist the last weekend of November during an icy spin. 6 of us ended up on our bums, me and Tom finished up at the hospital with injuries ... and I got a nice cast on for almost 8 weeks. It only came off 2 weeks ago.

I was a bit lazy during that time, I turbo’d a little, walked lot, but probably not enough to keep my weight down. I gained about 3 kg.

I have been back on the bike for a couple of weeks now. I haven’t been cycling the road bike just yet though, just the fixie for now. All is going quite well, I have lost 1 kg, I am feeling a little more energetic, I also go to the gym after work to gain some muscle back, and I am meeting with the new personal trainer next week for a few tips. If all goes well, I will have lost the nasty last stone I want to lose for the summertime spins up the mountains.

This article is very interesting although quite depressing to me ...

This winter has been pretty nasty with us cyclists lately, and this week was probably the worst of them all, with snow and ice ... all over. The Irish have NO IDEA how to deal with extrem’ish weather like this. I used to live in Canada ... and they should teach the Irish a lesson or two on snow management...so it doesn’t become a National State of Emergency like right now.

Anyway, I will try to keep this blog alive ...
