Hi folks,

Just a quick update today. The training is still going well. I did 18 miles in total this week. I did 9 miles on Tuesday and 9 miles this morning. To be fair it was fairly easy, and I could of done more, but did not want to push myself too much too early. It took me about 30 minutes to do 9 miles, with an average speed of 18mph, so all in all not a bad start to the training.

I was hoping to get my bike this weekend. But with the weather being bad, I think I will leave it until next weekend.

After much debating and reading reviews I think I am going to get a Specialized allex sport triple. Alot of people and reviews have said that this is a good first road bike, and it is not as expensive as some of the other models, we will see. The initial outlay will be high, as I will need trainers, a helmet and a few other bits and bobs, but it will be worth it.

I know I am getting ahead of myself, but I have been thinking that if I manage to achieve the coast to coast and I enjoy it, I might look to do the length of Britain next, from John O'groats to Lands End. I must be mad!!!!!! lol

And then if I manage to do that I would real love to cycle around the entire coast of Britain, but that is a long way away.

Until next time

Bye for now
