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

Southern Sportive - Me and my ride buddies

The Shutt VR Team. Darren (Diesel) Hague at the front, having recovered sufficiently enough to smile after fixing a puncture some 32km from the finish line and then TTing all the way home. Me, the cyclist. For all my tri buddies yes, I am that skinny now - no more muffin top! To the right of the picture is the leg of Squadra Donne team member Sarah Maidment. Not quite sure why the photographer focussed on Darren and I whilst Sarah was around but hey ho! no accounting for taste!

Shutt VR ride report is here: http://www.shuttvr.com/blog/2010/09/southern-sportive-2010-with-team-shutt/
