It don’t mean no thing…if you ain’t got that bling!!

On 10 May 2009, as a 45yo bloke, I achieved a milestone that encourages and enthuses me both as an athlete and as a cyclist. For a 20km time trial at Champion Lakes in Western Australia, I achieved a 40kph average speed. Dead on! Now for just over a third of the field who achieved this and better, its likely no big deal.

But for me, for the last 2 years, this is an achievement I’ve aspired to and its great to think that in middle age, you can actually get better at something.

I will be starting a Spin class at my local gym from Friday 5 June to Friday 7 August inclusive. It will be 7 to 8pm and I will charge the massive amount of $5 per session to cover the cost of hiring the spin room. I already have 14 people on board and I can take up to a max of 19. If you want to jump on board (and Pure Fitness gym in Canning Vale suits you as a venue) then phone me on 0420414163. But don’t wait too long. Once the spots are full, they’re full. These sessions will be as fun as I can make them but lets not forget you still need to work hard.

This weekend, the cyclosportif is in Lancelin which is a fair hike and this will be the first time our BFSR guys have skipped on one.

Still running on Tuesdays for a 19km effort in Canning Vale. Also on Wed 5.30pm from Belltower, anticlockwise around Bridges.  Swimming not yet on board but will need to crank up soon enough.

Good training and health to all of you
