The incoherent ramblings of an overweight cyclist.

Week 2 - I have seen the light

April 2nd, 2008

Now that the lighter mornings are here I figured it would be a good idea to get up an hour earlier than normal and add some extra miles to my regular commute. So this morning I got up early (not quite the hour I had intended but it’s a start) and added a loop round Queens Park to my route. It’s a 2 mile loop with a couple of little hills and my intention is to build up to fitting in 7 of these loops of a morning before heading for work.


Queens Park Loop

Yesterday was all windy and rainy so I decided to skip the training ride and make a start on some upper body work while watching the football. Just some sit ups, press ups, light weights and stretches to start with. I plan to incorporate this in to a proper training program later this week.

  • Weigh in: 14st 7lb
  • Commute to work: 4.5 miles
  • Time: 22 mins
  • Avg Speed: 13.2 mph
  • Max Speed: 23 mph

Onwards and upwards!
