Latest Ramblings of a frustrated cyclist

So, where are we now? Well, you will have noticed the weather changing for the better. This means more time on the bike. That has its problems, as I have now developed a rather embarrassing pain from sitting on the saddle. Let's just say, I can still pee straight! Although, like pinching the end of your garden hose, it sprays for quite a distance!! I know too much information. But these are the trials & tribulations of an amateur 'wannabe' cyclist.

What have I been up to?
I have completed the 'Early season 50 miles' with Hampshire CTC, in a pretty respectable time. I also did a 75 miler to The Witterings & back - which started my nether region pain. This weekend I'm doing the 'New Forest Spring Sportive' with my brother & a friend, and have signed up for the Jurassic Beast (the day after a Party) on 8th May! Oh yeah, I am doing the Thames Bridges ride again this year in support of 'The Stroke Association' in May, obviously a charity close to my heart (or should I say head)! Also looking forward to 'The Dragon ride' on June 5th, and have signed up to do the Coast to Coast (C2C), later in June with a group of Fire-fighters, and my brother from Staffordshire. Some good cycling coming up over the next couple of months. If only I could get rid of this pain at the base of my .......

Health wise, as predicted I have now come off the Beta Blockers & Statins, so expect my Heart rate to rocket to within normal levels. Watch out for my Garming posts for links to the rides that I do. I feel generally better, with more energy, so things are moving in a positive direction.

With the summer approaching, my tennis is also coming on - having kept going through the winter with coaching from one of Hampshire's top lady players Lisa Radford. I have entered a local mixed doubles tournament for May, with the accent on fun (bol**x). We're in it to win it!!
Keep you posted, roll on.
