Decisions made on the back of several alcoholic beverages are never the best but this one should encourage me never to drink again!

To be fair though, I’m looking forward to it, for too long now I have watched and listened to other people’s experiences of doing something like this and thought to myself I’m going to do that, but never have actually got the motivation to do it, but here i am, starting to train for a 200 odd mile bike ride, having never done anything like this before..

The first week has been tiring, and I’m no where near the level I need to be, but it should be ok if I continue and gradually up the pressure on myself… but already I realise that saddle sores will become an issue!!

Alcohol has a lot to answer for.. and you have to be even more careful if you couple that with friends that can sell ice to eskimos….
