Not weighed myself today and I shalln't be but.....
Feeling good. Riding more. Walking/hiking more.
The distances I'm putting in aren't embiggening but the stats (times, HR, pace etc...) are all showing improvement.
Staying off the booze and feeling good for it.
Onwards and downwards.....

Re: French Medical Cert Sign Off?
I got one waaaaay back when and then I Photoshop it every year and use it as/when needed.
It's a hoop that needs jumping through but I'll be damned if I'm repeatedly paying to do it.

Lake Annecy. I didn't want to say as any sympathy for my situation seems to evaporate when I mention riding in lovely places.

Re: Fat Fighters '23
I'm not participating this week.
Too much work, three failed attempts at going riding and lots of quickly grabbed meals means that no good can come of standing of the scales of doom this week.

I've never bedded in a set of pads in my life.
Old pads dead, new pads in, keep riding.....
What am I missing? Sure as schnitzels doesn't seem to be braking power. Longevity?
