On yer Bike! (Week 14 - 17 to go)

No pictures this week, so an old one of me biking.

Short blog this week as still taking it easy and really have to get out on my bike more as I'm off mountain biking in Morocco very soon!  However the snow and ice didn't help much in that department as even the trails were iced over.

But the good news is I ran again on Tuesday without any problems with my calves. But I'm being good and reigning it back a bit – no hill runs and more bike for the next 4 weeks.

My biking is a bit like my running, good with the down hills, especially the technical bits but rubbish on the ups!  And I'm pretty rubbish at bike maintenance, of which my bike is of some need (actually I think just a bit of oil and tyres pumping up), so it’s drying out in the porch in the hope that I will get fed up of tripping over it and actually pump up the tyres properly!
