End of cycle

One hour over, three hours in total, just under ten miles, not that muddy apart from my mate (pictured) pub now!

Hire bike

Here is todays steed! Should be fun.

Breaking radio silence.

Testing testing. Is this thing on?

Right I have not blogged in what feels like forever. This is not for lack of things to say or lack of time. If I am brutally honest I have just not been bothered.

Sad indication of time I know but even being on Easter holidays has not meant I have sat down and scribbled (virtually) my thoughts and opinions down.

Anyways, time I feel to break radio silence and outline a few things that are going on.

Firstly I have changed jobs, well schools, again. So that has been a busy few weeks and months getting ready for the move. Am very excited but a bit anxious at the same time. Still I get my own lab again and the school has very good sports facilities. Oh yeah and its a very good school to boot!

Right on to the ultra running and sports. The last posts I made were when I was in Afan mountainbiking. Well I started commuting to work on my road bike a few times a week and to be honest I loved it.

In fact, and this needs whispering, I have actually been preferring being on a bike to running. It's a revelation.

Which is bad times as on Saturday I am running my first full ultra. 40 miles of pain. Yet here I am on my way mountainbiking with mates and planning a road ride later on (well bank holiday plans permitting).

Ah well I am sure it will be fine.

I hope anyway.

Nah sure it will be.

Oh one last thing, I have slowly reduced the amount of minimalist running I'm doing and now I only run in my trail shoes, that is when I'm running at all.

As I said enjoying riding much more.

Cyclocross!
