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

Reconsidering the future...

...of my bikes. Yes, I know I said I was going to sell all of my TT kit and become a dedicated roadie and buy a new Parlee Z4 and just ride sportives, but I'm really looking forward to Quelle Challenge Barcelona now, and a few tweaks to the set-up of PoD (my black Dolan) have improved comfort no end. So I may just keep the TT bike. In which case I will not have sufficient cash to buy a new road bike, so my Litespeed may just get an overhaul. The internet is brilliant for virtual shopping; I really fancy a custom re-spray and then fitting a new groupset (Dura-Ace 7900) and Hed Ardennes wheels. A few upgrades of other components will see the weight down to just 15 pounds - about as light as you need.

But I also want a new widescreen plasma TV... (sorry JC!)
