Had a brilliant week last week - a shorter week, 13hrs was achieved which was in line with the training programme. Luckily only one ride for the week was a damp ride. But I am certainly beginning to see the benefits - my resting heart rate has come waaaaaay down, along with my BMI and weight. The challenge will be to keep it down over the Christmas season! It is a month to go till the Sabie Experience which is something to look forward to. We have got a great group of guys riding together, so should be a quite a social affair - hopefully the weather this year behaves itself and we do not have a repeat of last year! I will be packing a mudflap regardless this year!

But all in all the going is good at the moment - I am enjoying my time on the bike - I even managed to stop an appreciate the sunrise this morning at 04h45!

I suppose this is why we spend hours and hours away from our family, toil through wind and rain - to appreciate the days that are like this.

I could break out into song soon.... so time to end off! Got a 15hr week this week - got to fit it all in between Monday and Friday as off away for a quality weekend with the family.
