First time in ages.....

.... been out on the Nothing Special, after several weeks riding the fully rigid CX bike and not having ridden the NS* since end of last summer (when I had the tyre seating problems), it was such a blast. Granted Crystal Palace Park doesn't offer anything but it's there on my doorstep and is better than nothing for the time being. Did my usual multiple sets of sprinting down the little footpath which meanders down from the old boarded up loo's at the top of the park, they've put a wooden footbridge in at the top now so it's even faster. It's gonna be a while before my fitness levels increase and the weight drops off again but the grin on my bright red sweaty face said it all really. And, amazingly, no dog sh*t to contend with this time.

Gonna have to book some days off work and get myself down to the Epson Downs armed with an OS map.

As of Monday I will have a gym and swimming membership at the Crystal Palace Sports Centre, about bloody time!
