NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

It's not goodbye...


...just au revoir.


Off to BZN later today and I leave for Qatar tomorrow (Saturday) morning. Have fun in your cold and wet UK winter and I will do my best to come back a lean, mean cycling machine (who can maybe swim and run a little bit better as well!).

If anyone is down Brampton/Wyton way give Sags a call because I don't want him getting lonely on his weekly long bike rides.

See you later folks - and train smart! Or in your case Sags, train harder and more often!!! :-)

Enjoy your 4 month training camp! I expect to see no muffin tops next season! :-)

Mmmmmm Muffins. Thanks frank I just realised what I've forgotten to have for breakfast. Have fun in the sun. Not too hot at the moment and the green bean coffee shack smoothies are to die for.... well not litterally.

Take it easy and don't worry about Sags he'll have plenty of people to train with over the winter months
