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

Chilean Red Wine

It's been a bit of a quiet week on the training front. The cold weather has restricted me to just going to the gym at lunchtimes; I'm not even sufficiently motivated to go out to the garage and sort my bikes out. Never mind.

Last night I felt the need for a glass of wine so popped out to the village off-licence and picked up a couple of bottles of Andes Peak Chilean red, one Merlot and one Carmenere. I duly gave both bottles a good testing and can thoroughly recommend them. Felt a bit shabby this morning though!

No training planned for the weekend; Christmas shopping on Saturday and then sorting the bikes on Sunday.

Rest well folks.

Do you never learn!

I had a chilean merlot last night at the Club do where I collected (yet another) trophy LOL!

Bring on 2011 is all I say but let's get rid of this pesky white stuff, it's not even December yet but it looks like Lapland already!

On rereading aloud your post to Mr Grok I noted you found sufficient motivation to pop out (no doubt into the cold and past the garage with neglected bikes) to the local village shope to buy ... poisons!

LOL!
