London to Brighton Bike ride
(Read: Little Eaton to Makeney Bike Ride)

They say things happen in 3s' My 3rd blog in a day.

First blog was the motivational video from a man who was dying, then a blog about a legend who has passed, this one is the very opposite (no not more babies - but staying alive).

This is going to be a shock to some, but I am back on my bike - the shock may be the sight of me in cycling shorts hence the conveniently placed newspaper showing the date.


I managed a 6 mile bike ride on Thursday, not far I admit and I had to stop twice, but it's most definetaly a start - less than a year ago I couldn't even pedal full circle so this is quite good going.

I'm all geeked up too - I have installed GPS Tuner on my PDA which gives tracks the whole route including distance, speed, altitutude, rate of climb etc, so will be able to monitor exactly where I have my heart attack. how well I am doing - I am hoping I can do a 10 mile ride in the next couple of weeks.

.... remember kids, wear your cycle helmet at all times. you may look a div - but when you smack your head on the ground - you just need to buy a new helmet rather than a coffin.

Bring on the bike ride Cookie - Lets have ya !!!

Good lad. I am so pleased you have dusted off the cobwebs and are back in the saddle. 6 miles is a great start, just build it up to 3 times a week, and you will be ready for a ride on "The Dog" with me and Topey. It may even prompt Rob out of his fat arse retirement.

Lycra Cycle shorts? Where else do you think I keep my dry socks, puncture repair kit and wallet? Oh,I forgot myself, you're a quarter Jamacan. You don't have any room!

See you soon then bike monkey!

Half Jamaican Cookie, half jamaican.
(Bottom half of course), it's a quarter Irish (drinking) and quarter english (something else)...
