Put on 1.4kg overnight midweek (night out) and my average never really recovered. Started the week at 64.1kg.

06/01/24: 69.4kg

---- Rolling Three Weeks ----
24/02/2024: 66.3kg (-0.4kg)
02/03/2024: 65.9kg (-0.4kg)

OK on the weight front, not so much on everything else. Too much stress in my life right now.

Re: Winter Event entries now open.

Not 100%, but it's not looking like I'm going to make it. Not the bike for once.

Really busy with work (still working as of the time of this post), and just don't see myself being able to get away. A real shame as it looks nice for once.

Re: Contents / bike cover for many, many bikes..

Related, don't ever get a house with a detached garage. Because it's treated as an "outbuilding" it's a major, major pain in the arse to get a home insurance policy that'll cover bikes stored there for any sort of decent amount. I doubt most people would know as they've probably got better...

Re: Fat Fighters '23

Just to let you guys know that I am indeed human... I'm really struggling to sort my diet out again since my "season" finished.

It seems that if I'm not fully on it (calorie counting, big deficits etc), I'm doomed to just eat like sub standard / gain weight.

Re: Winter Event entries now open.

I will endeavour to have my gear ready before I go away for Christmas, because there's next to zero chance I'll get it done between Christmas and the event.

Would really like to make it to this one, after last year's disaster of not actually being able to get to my bike.

Any idea how the black badge / finisher percentage was compared to normal Stu?

I want to know if if was actually hard, or if I'm getting even softer in my old age. :lol:

Re: BB200 - a few thoughts.

I disagree, Allen could have got a black badge if he hadn't stopped for a sleep in the bus stop, I passed him when he was in there so I know, some poor sod missed it by 20-30 mins last year. Not really on topic at this point, but that's not how it works. I go all night because I can't sleep (was th...

Re: The post man's been ...

Last of the Five Tens turned up, which wasn't ideal as I was away.

I think based on my original order date, I have like two days to try them on / return them.
