Re: The Get fit club!
Well as it was a bit milder on Saturday I decided that despite the forecast rain I would head out to another mountain bike orienteering event about an hours drive away. After not being on the bike for a few weeks at least, I did struggle more than usual (which is a lot!) but managed to get caked in mud so pretty much stuck to roads after that. Was still last though, just need to get fitter. Was also nearly 8 minutes late to the finish but picked up 25 points on the way which made up for the 11 point penalty.
Definitely no more cycling until at least the springtime. Tennis, swimming and other indoor stuff will take over!If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

Re: The Get fit club!
It's not that bad out. It just seems like that at the moment because it's been grey and dark every day.
Managed to get out over the weekend and managed to lift the black cloud from over my head so felt a lot better for it. Been out this morning too planned for 15 miles but felt good so added on another 10.
But it is frustrating at this time of year when weekend is the only time to get out. If you miss one weekend it can really set you back.Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

Ran a personal best of 49:17 in a 10km event on Saturday. Fortunately the weather was ideal for this time of the year. Sunny and about 12 deg.C.
On Sunday the snow was blowing sideways .“If everything's under control, you're going too slow.” Mario Andretti

Re: The Get fit club!
I really need to get into doing some running. Don't have any time through the week but have an hour for lunch, so running is going to be the best way to keep some fitness up without having to faff on bringing a bike to work etc. I just wish I liked it a bit more, I'm hoping if I keep at it I might hate it a bit less .
I think if I can do an hour 2 or 3 times during the week and my usual bike ride on Sunday morning that should see me right.Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums
