Since it's Easter I think it's time I rise again!
Remember me? I used to be well fast....
Due to my three year sabbatical I have become way too short for my weight! The only training I have been doing is cycling from Houston to Kilmalcolm with the kids and getting a fry up!
So here are my chain gang and weight goals for this season,
Weeks 1-2 Get to the end of the Georgetown
Weight - The same as a Billy and Geo lovechild.
Weeks 2-4 Get to Bishopton
Weight - Greg Balden with a pair of heavy boots on.
Weeks 4-6 Get over the Cote du Bishy (I named it after my famous dropping on it during the Bogs)
Weight - Charlie giving Gummers a piggy back
Weeks 6-8 Hang on to the bottom of the Clune
Weight - Gunson/Archibald wet through
Weeks 8+ Give everyone a pumping!!
Weight - My right leg weighing the same as P McDonald!
See you tomorrow night if my kit fits!!!
Was a good run tonight. Bit messy on Georgetown road to the finish. Who's idea was to go through the inside rather than outside . Made sense with the wind direction but it seems bunch didnt get it.
Managed to run over big hole on way home with bunch and got a puncture. Got new tube in and it seems it had a hole in it before hand. Good thing I had a patch kit that sorted it out. Last thing you want when your sweaty and its starting to get cold.
We were fortunate to witness one of the great comebacks in sporting history tonight......with Charlie getting some points in the sprint after a week in Augusta giving Tiger Woods some golfing tips. Decent return from Ross too.

I dont have decent internet at the moment so will post full results when BT get round to sorting my broadband.
That felt harder than last week, with the pace picking up a notch after the roadworks, and then again up Bishy hill.
First time I've made it to the end though, even if I did blow up a bit on the Georgetown.
Roll on next week.
Let the madness commence ! Plan for 20th, weather being reasonable, is a standard SA, 0700 ferry, 0805 approx rubber on road, lap of island and back on 1105 ferry.
Just for info, there is now a 5th category, no one achieved it yet but there been attempts, the WSA, Winter Single Arran which must be winter timetable and winter bike
