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

Halfords Tour Series

The Halfords Tour Series cycle race event came to Portsmouth this evening and so I ventured across to witness my first cycle race of this type, and I must say it was most entertaining. Fast, action packed cycling with some spectacular crashes - there will be some sleepless nights tonight for some cyclists! I have no idea who won but thoroughly enjoyed it. Coastal Controller, Mrs Coastal Controller and a couple of my Titchfield cycling buddies were also there and with a cool beer and some chocolate fingers (!) it was very enjoyable.

And today I've managed 2:17 on the bike and over 62km, so ticking over quite nicely!
