I've jusy realised how long it is since I last updated here. Too long and a lot has happened. I bought a new bike, picked it up today; a Specialized Roubaix Comp. It's beuatifully light and responsive. I deliberately rode home through Covent Garden to try out the cobbles - true comfort. I then found good hills on the way out of town, going across from Swiss Cottage, West Hampstead and then Willesden. I don't know if I was faster than normal on the hills but it felt easier.
My average speed is up for the commute; now 15.5mph on the way in and 14.5 on the way out; hopefully I'll find an increase with the new bike.
My weight is down 93.5k, not a bad drop since Christmas when I was 110k.
I'll try and get a picture on here of the bike tomorrow.
