Well the training finally begun today for my Holy Island pilgrimage on a full Christmas Stomach I set of to see what I could manage.
WEIGHT: weighed in at 16 stone (Oh my stars!)
WEATHER: Windy with rain in the air basically miserable.
KIT: New jacket, new padded shorts. New borrowed bike (I almost felt like a proper cyclist.)
ROUTE: Somehow I managed to allow Chris to persuade me to try my Nemesis (HINTON HILL. 27 miles later, I can say I MADE IT... not quickly, but I did it, over 1,000 feet of climbing I think!
So the journey has begun.. day one of training and I feel better already! (Better to be starting to shed some weight... less to carry 400 miles!)
