Still Alive
No I have not vanished off the face of the earth. I am in fact - still alive and well.
I still do not have internet access at my new place and it will probably be a few weeks again. But for now a quick update...
I've been keeping up with my cycling - though I haven't been using my heart monitor as I've been doing more exploring and getting used to ( Read more... ) -
The Test
Well I didn't go out cycling yesterday like I had planned. I cycled down to the shop with my sister instead and rented a film as it's sort of the last few days before I go back to college - and I'm moving my stuff tonight.
So not having cycled for quite a long time, thus, being well rested - I thought last night - I should do one of those tests to ( Read more... ) -
Home
Well I've been away for the last while so haven't done any cycling. Just back today, but as I start college Monday I'm going to be settling in to my new place, moving my computer and bike out there tonight or tomorrow and then I won't have internet access for a while so expect another long delay after today - for posts.
I'm just getting ready to go ( Read more... ) -

Day ... 10?
So I think it's day 10. I've not done any cycling since day 7 as, I needed a break and I also went home for a few days. I'm back at my parents (with the blessed internet) for a few days and then I'm taking my computer and bicycle with me when I go back. Which means I won't have internet access for... well until all of us living there can sort ( Read more... ) -
Notes on Noticing Bike Posture
While I was out on my long journey (for me) today with my beloved bicycle I started noticing a few things about the way I was riding. A good few times I noticed myself scooting back on the seat... perhaps the frame is too small - though it doesn't seem like it is. But I was doing that. And I also noticed a few times I would hang onto the outside of ( Read more... ) -

Day 6
I've woken up with a sore throat. When I swallow it hurts all the way down into my chest. I don't think that's a good thing. But outside of that, I feel really good. I was expecting my muscles to be sore, and to feel a little drained today - but I feel really good. Mind you, I've yet to venture anywhere. I have to go home today to the land lacking ( Read more... ) -
