Lovely ride with the CTC guys. 4 Groups rode a four leaf clover shaped route from Tonbridge. Every 25 miles back to base for food and drinks- excellent. Nice 12.2 mph pace, good practice for my big 200k Audax coming up in a couple of weeks.

Just back from a 4 day course learning how to teach people with disabilities how to move and swim. Good course, learned a lot that I can use when I am at the club. Great fun too but very tiring.

My super computer man Mike has done it! I am back in business. However, it is amazing that one can become so miserable just because the computer doesn’t work. Such euphoria when all is up and running though. Must try to keep things in perspective. Happy New Year!
To end the year I have computer software problems. A change in User name has caused a blip which means I have no access at present to many vital functions. I can access my email account via Mail2web but not through imail. I have an expert working on the problem and hopefully we will get […]
