Arse update

For all those that have expressed their very kind concern for my comfort and well-being, I am pleased to report that all is now as it should be - the old bits and pieces voiced no complaint during today's 38km roadie outing on the quiet roads west of Pamiers, a circuit I last did in early October. On that occasion, I really struggled, despite the circuit only having a couple of short uphill sections, but I was feeling really unfit, it was hot and, well, let's be honest, I just couldn't be bothered, hence the time of 2 hrs that it took me to get round! Today, in contrast, 1 hr 35mins and we weren't even pushing it! Excellent. So the way forward is increased kilometrage (is that a word?) and back onto the Cols. Wish me luck.
