Do any of you guys want to loan me your legs? Mine's are broken, I think I got carried away today, and just to let you know I ****ing hate strong headwinds. I'm also not sold on the this warm weather maybe cyclocross is my future.

All in though I'm well chuffed with todays efforts.

That's why i stayed in! I'm bored today, waiting for the sun to appear, as its decidedly cool today, tomorrow's meant to be sunny, with an onshore wind, which can feck off, thank you.

Not a cloud in the sky here but still blowing a gale. I doubt I'll get out at the weekend so need to plan something for tomorrow evening. I still have my months Grand Fondo to get out and do before I go away...

Sun has just poked its head out, I may get to go out for a little ride tonight, just to vent some frustration!

Out tomorrow, as its meant to be 22 deg

Happy day today, I passed the 2,000 mile mark since starting this cycling madness in September.

And it was sunny and not too warm

Its a bit quiet in here

Planet X have some frames on sale, I couldn't resist buying this for a cheap project. I know it isn't the geniune article & its made in Vietnam, but it'll do
