January kick start

Writing about web page http://www.clublasanta.co.uk/

The snow seemed to never want to go, hands felt like they were iced to the handlebars for days on end (that despite 3 pairs of gloves!) really did feel more than ready for two weeks of sunny Lanza :o) ...even if my bike legs were not quite as willing! :S

Anyhow after a bit of persuasion the bike legs kicked in and with fabulous company provided by buddies from Warwick Uni Triathlon & Road Cycling Club managed to clock up quite a few miles including a couple of trips up to Rio, over Haria & winding back up Tabayesco, *phew* hello legs! Awesome to be able to swim under the sun in 50m pool that was not a chemical soup :p and run/walk routes provide their own mini adventures too :o)

Back to work with no time to ease in... flying start to the year!

Week twenty–one

Ah the possibility of diving back into the deep after a refresher :) rather than ears ringing with the chuckle of NZ Dive Master claiming "it's just like riding a bike" NOT!?

week seven

Writing about web page http://www.markbeaumontonline.com/mbo/

Fair to say I spend quite a lot of time riding bikes & tinkering with bikes...

Recently stumbled on following equation - which is totally spot on:

Number of bikes you need = n + 1

where of course n= Number of bikes currently owned :o)

Currently in my ownership; n = 3 (& yes all 3 in regular use)

No surprise therefore to find I've been following adventures of Mark Beaumont during his epic cycling the americas adventures via twitter, the photography has been something special too!

Looking forward to seeing more on BBC soon...

week three

Holidays :o)

Space and time for getting on with stuff you love doing without work getting in the way...

even better when you gather together with a group of friends...

head for sunshine, top facilities and scenery too - perfect!

Disconnected

Couple of days in decided that although my lovely new mobile phone allows me to keep roaming Internet connection... (costly for brief time used!?) 

staying entirely offline for a few days gave me gentle reassurance...

result = NOT addicted! *phew*

Endnote: blame taking a holiday for this entry being totally out of synch ;-)
