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

2010 Events

My plans for 2010 are coming together, although there is still a lot of uncertainty. But a plan is better than no plan, so these are the events I'm considering for next year:

31 Jan - Hell of the Ashdown Challenge (110km)
7 Mar - Puncheur Sportive (Brighton)
18 Apr - New Forest Spring Sportive
16 May - Cornwall Tor Sportive
13 Jun - Magnificat Sportive (Highclere - Inter Services?) (200km)
24-27 Jun - London to Paris (550km)
18 Jul - Anthony Maynard Sportive (Reading) (190km)
8 Aug - The Outlaw (Nottingham - IM Relay)
?? Sep - Southern Sportive (Petersfield) (155km)
?? Oct - Quelle Challenge Barcelona (IM Relay)

A lot of things have to fall into place to enable me to complete all of these events but one a month should be achievable and, if this year was anything to go by, very enjoyable. The highlights would be the London to Paris ride and the 2 Ironman distance relay events, all challenging but for different reasons.

Certainly something to look forward to and train for through the dark winter evenings.
