Sorry for lack of updates....

had an interesting (very wet) time in Italy in which we did not get as much done as we would have liked.....am now back and trying to do lots of things at once in respect of spending time with Claire; working on the flat and trying to get courses etc sorted for 2011 - not to mention actually getting some rest....will be around in due course.

Added to this I decided to enter the 'short course' of the Cumberland Challenge on the 5th of Sept; which is only 57 miles on the road bike. Looks like training for this will be impossible so am just going to have to rely on the base fitness which failed so spectacularly 30 miles into the 50 last month!!!
