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

Goodbye Gosport, Hello Lincoln

So now, the end is near ... My time in Gosport has come to an end and I have said farewell to my colleagues and after a little over 3 years I am packing my bags and tomorrow will head north to Lincoln to start my new job at Scampton on Monday. A few tough decisions to make; which bike should I take? I have chosen the Litespeed because it's my favourite, although I will probably add one per week as I travel back each weekend. Yes, there are currently no houses available so I will be a weekend commuter for a few weeks. Hopefully something will come available in July and we will be in our new house by August. There's no CrossFit gym in Lincoln so I will need to find a new training regime, and I will undoubtedly get out on the bike again, if only for an hour or so each evening.
