Welcome

This blog aims to chart my rise from middle aged, slightly overweight lazy so and so, to lean, mean cycling machine. Done on a budget in both terms of money and time, if it inspires you great, if it amuses you great also.

Getting me down

Having not had a single day off sick for nearly 11 years I managed to hurt a neck muscle whilst out on a simple ride, I wouldn't mind if I had been run down by a lorry, attacked by a marauding escaped bull or something equally worthy of a story of the warry type, but no I managed to get a jolt on one of the potholes I pay for with my road and petrol and council tax. Upshot of it is that I've learnt how many normal functions includes the use of the particular muscle, from sneezing downwards and yes including some "gross" muscle movements. 
No cycling all week then, and had really hoped it would be fixed by now, especially as the last dregs of summer are still around, I NEED TO GET OUT AND RIDE!!!!!! 
No such luck, the way things are going I'm not even sure I will get back out tomorrow, even though I have resumed fit for duty - only to avoid the incessent nagging masquerading as concern, that is positive attendance management. It gives me a new insight into members of my staff who get the phone call from me, so there's a small silver lining. 
Perhaps I need some retail therapy to cheer me up, now where did I leave that spare thousand pounds?
Soup dragons birthday tomorrow, or the first time in her life, she has not been able to provide a birthday list, she needs to get a bike, then she'll always have a list!!!
