Long morning ride, blood and white deer

It's been a while since I've posted an update. I've been plugging away at the training.

This morning was notable as I saw two white deer on my route which is very unusual. I also got hit on the helmet by a bird of prey carrying something that used to be alive and fluffy. It left a streak of blood on my arm. Urgh !!!

On top of all this I rode for a full hour covering more miles than ever before in an early morning session. Details here.

Plus I've done the daily 6 mile round trip to the office. I'm definately starting to feel stronger now but need to get some longer road rides in.

Still got a few more pounds to lose too.........
