The long silence is over. I’m back blogging again. No particlar reason for the long gap in Blogs just a case of blogger’s block. I still have nothing to say but feel I better upload something. Training had gone well despite the freezing temperatures and alcohol fueled stag weekends. I have clocked up over 2000 km this year already and my weight is at a 10 year low. The number one highlight was a fantastic ride around Joyce Country in Connemara. We took a detour to add a little distance to our spin and discovered a great Hill, spectacular views anda beautiful Lake side road. The clocks have sprung forward and I can consider commuting from next week. I am off to Manchester for a long weekend and in 8 days I am off to Southern Spain for a spring training camp. My bike is in for servicing and hopefully will be ready for the trip
