Right I have my insane moment out the way and I just want to say something important.
Thank you
A big thanks to everyone who has supported me or anyone else who is setting themselves a personal challenge and thanks for reading this blog, a few years ago when a friend and myself started blogging I never for one moment ever thought that some one would read this other than family but here it is and it is out there for everyone to read.
You know it has been a few months since I weighed myself I have no clue what my weight is or if I am loosing weight, putting it on well I am thinking putting on weight BUT not in a bad way. Right now there is a good reason why I am not hitting the scales and that is because my body is changing pretty fast right now with the increased training and chasing weight goals would be too distracting when i am trying to focus on getting my distances in each week, so with this in mind I wont look at my scales until new year well 1st January 2011 to be precise until then I am just going to ride and walk loads.
Just recently I have been putting some thought into my cycle touring dream, don't worry it will happen that is not an issue here but in my research I have come across an idea that really floats my boat Bike Packing.
The idea is pretty simple and was inspired by rock climbers and hikers who wanted to get out into the back country traveling fast and light carrying on the bare essentials, to allow the rider in this case to ride further out into the trails than their normal ride would allow, such techniques were honed to perfection in a race covering 2745 miles climbing 200,000ft simply know as Tour Divide now I know that is a little out of my league for now but the idea is there and I am thinking of giving it a try next year, just some simple rides on Dartmoor bivvying out then riding home....maybe a bit further in a year or so.....Dutch coastal path could be done in this fashion maybe some charity fund raising too.
Right sleep time for me a long week ahead and I am going to go get some for sure!
