Survived my 2nd weekend without a ride
My 2nd weekend without a ride ... survived .. just.
I’m sure seasoned MTBers, certainly those Sydney-siders who sat out last year’s wet, will tell me being on the sidelines is just a fact of life, but that doesn’t make it any easier. I had planned on defying Doctor’s orders to ride OMV on Saturday but the rain gods put an end to that – maybe they are looking after me.
The weekend was spent doing “Man Jobs” and scoring much needed “Man Points” with the missus. A few more weeks of this and I will definitely deserve a weekend riding Stromlo and Majura Pines.
I did however get some quality time with the keyboard. A few backend improvements to the website while working on the backlog of MTB videos that need watching definitely eased the pain. What I didn’t do was get on the exercise bike ... the weigh in this morning wasn’t pretty.
This week’s goals:
- No Doner Kebabs
- Walk at lunch every day
- Get on the exercise bike every day
- No chocolate (beyond the daily ration)
