Well I started off with the training very well. And I had every intention to complete the schedule - however then enter left wing - work. Several meetings at 7am put a stop to the morning meetings and a trip down to Cape put a severe to my training schedule.

I did manage a good two hour ride yesterday with the guys. It is really great to get in a good quality ride with good company! It was a cold ride - the average temperature for the whole ride was 4 degrees - but not once did I feel cold. (Other than a little teeth chattering in the first 5 minutes!). Once the body temperature warms up - it was pure bliss.

The remainder of the week will be finished with a 2,5hr ride on Saturday. Which will be a good end to a hectic week on the work front. It just seems like from this point onwards the rides will just get better and better from a climate point of view and hopefully as we progress - also from a fitness point of view.
