Another good week, my fifth 50 plus on the trot. My EA Sports Active 2 work outs 4 times a week are also going very well and I am continuing to see results both in my weight and endurance levels.
I have recently purchased a HiVis bike safety wrap that attaches quickly and easily to most parts of your bike. The product cost me less than the cost a a few beers and allows me to be seen by other road users. The concept is fantastically simple, well made and above all effective.
However, cycle safety aside, the best thing about this product is that it is designed and made in England.

Another good week, my fourth 50 plus on the trot, and my first 60 plus of the year. I am really pleased with my progress at the moment.
I took half a day of work Friday to allow me to cycle home from Salisbury, this added just over 26 miles to my total, which I am very pleased about.
I am also continuing with my EA Sports Active 2 work outs 4 times a week, and have started to feel the benefits already, both in my weight and endurance levels.
It is unlikely that I will be able to get more than 50 miles in over the next 7 days, but, I will certainly try my best.

Another good week, my third 50 plus on the trot. It is unlikely I will get 50 miles in next week as its a bank holiday… but it is possible (I am considering something a little crazy for Friday)
I have also started working out 4 times a week using EA Sports Active 2, so my fitness levels are increasing quite a lot, but I do need to start putting in some longer cycle rides, watch this space for an update next week.
I have just finihsed writing a new cycling related page, detailing what I think is the minimum equipment every cyclist should carry at all times. Please take a look here.

Another good week, my second 50 plus on the trot. I am not sure how long I will be able to keep his up for… Hopefully the weather will hold out, and allow me to get 4 commutes in again next week.

A fantastic week, 4 commutes. I really know about it by the time I got home on Friday thought…. Hopefully this will continue……
I must try and get out on my MTB at some point, I am very aware I have not put many miles in for of road training yet.
I have just finished putting a new page together on cycle safety, please feel free to take a look and make comments.

another sub 30 mile week, Easter Monday and a family funeral knocked the schedule a bit, but I did manage 2 commutes. The second found me taking a new route, 3/4 of a mile longer but much more bike friendly. I am planning a web page devoted to safe, cycling and safe routes, I am starting to get really passionate about promoting safe cycling and safe cycle routes.
With the cost of transport increasing all the time, I think the time is right to encourage people to cycle as much as possible. My goal is that any journey I take on my own that is less than 6 miles will be made by bicycle…..
Plan all types of journeys from walks to drives and cycles to flights

There I was, researching my mobility themed Assignment for my Open University course when I found this……

In a word… its brilliant……. see for yourself….
I was really surprised to get the results for my fourth Tutor Marked Assessment (TMA) 3 days after the deadline for submitting it. I was even more surprised by the mark I amanged to get, 97%…. I have to be happy with that, I did not think I could ever top my last mark of 94%, but it looks like all the hard work paid off. The TMA is part of the Open University course I am taking in Design Thinking (U101).
The design brief we had to follow was to design a board game that reflected a role I play in my life. I found this to be the most difficult task yet, taking me out of my comfort zone. I knew very little about board games, other than what I have learnt by playing them a few times with family and friends.

Not the best of weeks, I am a little disappointed with the total distance cycled this week, Hopefully next week will be a little better…
I spent a lovely Friday morning and afternoon in Weymouth this week. We decided to take the train partially because the drive to Weymouth is not the best, and partially to save on fuel. With the threatened fuel tanker strike looming and people panic buying fuel to keep themselves mobile I thought it was best to let the train take the strain.
Walking along the front I noticed this sign that I thought was very amusing, and a good way of using current affairs to advertise service.

Another good week, I am really please with the progress I have made over the past few weeks. I managed to beat 3 different personal bests this week, a real achievement.
This week I had my MTB serviced by a local bike shop Batchelor’s in Warminster. On first impressions, I am really pleased with the work they carried out. I decided on their comprehensive service as my bike took a lot of punishment last year, and I wanted to make sure it was in tip top order for this years training and South Downs Way challenge. I rode home from the shop, mostly off road, and the bike handles like it was new, everything worked as expected, gears changes smoothly and the brakes were as responsive as ever. I would recommend these people if you ever need a service on your bicycle.
