Well folks, it’s time for yet another total lack of weight loss progress report! I started this year weighing 220.0 pounds (15 stone 10.0 pounds, 99.8 kg). Last week, I weighed 205.1 pounds (14 stone 9.1 pounds, 93.0 kg). Ho hum – no change! Total weight loss so far is 14.9 pounds or 6.8 kg [...]
We had good weather for today’s audax (randonneuring) event, the 202 km (125 mile) Red Rose Ride from Halifax to Glasson Dock near Lancaster and back. The sun was shining, there was a strong breeze which would hinder us on the outward leg, but assist us coming back, not much chance of rain. I did [...]
It was another nice day but I didn’t want to do too much because I’m doing a long bike ride tomorrow (The Red Rose Ride) and I wanted to feel fresh for that. Lisa suggested a short walk so we decided to stroll up to Heptonstall. We walked via Lee Wood to the bridleway going [...]
I’ve recently done a major overhaul of my Rock Lobster MTB. I was quite shocked at how bad a state I’d left it in when I last rode it over a year ago. I hadn’t kept the transmission clean enough, and didn’t change the chain when I should have done. As a result, I’ve had [...]

She’s still building up her confidence on the bike so she wanted to steer clear of busy roads where possible. She’s also still building up her fitness, so she wanted to avoid doing too many hills – a bit [...]
I started this year weighing 220.0 pounds (15 stone 10.0 pounds, 99.8 kg). Last week, I weighed 205.1 pounds (14 stone 9.1 pounds, 93.0 kg). This week again – no change! Total weight loss so far is 14.9 pounds or 6.8 kg (17.6 pounds, 1 stone 3.6 pounds, or 8.0 kg since Christmas). My original [...]
Despite a poor forecast from a couple of days ago, today hasn’t been too bad so far. It’s been windy, but overcast conditions gave way to sunshine a few times, and it hasn’t rained. My pals had packed up at their B&B and wanted to go for a quick stroll before leaving to drive home. [...]
