The incoherent ramblings of an overweight cyclist.

Day 1 - Genesis

March 18th, 2008

Strictly speaking this is actually day 2 but I didn’t properly record my weight or the time taken to cycle to work yesterday. So we’ll take this as DAY 1, Genesis, a new day, a new dawn, the first step along the path to cycling nirvana and other such nonsense.

  • Weigh in: 14st 12lb
  • Commute to work: 13 mins
  • Commute from work: 15 mins

What gradient there is on the commute is predominantly downhill on the way in and uphill on the way back.

See The Daily Commute for the route map and elevation profile.

Combined with the differences in traffic, I think will account for the difference in time to and from work.

  • Breakfast: Fruit Muesli
  • Lunch: Prawn Mayo & Salad sandwich + Yoghurt & wholegrain thing
  • Dinner: Home made Kedgeree

I’m out for a few beers this evening so I’m not expecting to see any difference on the scales tomorrow.

    Jeez! What a demanding public I have :o)

    But fear not my brethren, for I shall regale thee with thy stories of cycling prowess before this day is through.
