Mine and Dom's joint stag do/ride on saturday. Despite ingesting a gallon and a half of beer, everyone made it home in one piece, albeit slightly muddy.. Great fun.

Dyfi Enduro

Well, despite my back pain grumbling on, and despite having not ridden further than 15 miles in one go for over a month, I still enjoyed the Dyfi Enduro.
21st out of 36 in the Luddite (singlespeed) category ..and 293rd out of 592 starters.. I'm happy with that. That'd be equivalent to 205th in the Male 18-40 cat if I'd been riding a bike with gears.
Not been on the bike since (or cleaned it..) as I'm still suffering with my back. Got my stag do/ride next weekend though, so fingers crossed I'll be fit(ter) by then..

Back on the bike

After nearly a month off.. I suffered a spasm in the muscles of my lower bacl, hospitalising me and keeping me off the bike for weeks and weeks.. Made it out for a night ride last night with no problems so am racing the dyfi Enduro on sunday.. It's good to be back.
