Daggers Posted 20 April 2007 Posted 20 April 2007 When I quit smoking I packed on weight like it was going out of fashion thanks to booze and a crap diet. No more. I started training every day, about seven/eight weeks ago. I do between 15 and 20 miles a day on average...using various pre-set sessions on the Kettler in my front room. I changed my diet a while back to eliminate the rubbish and gave up the booze two weeks ago. When I say 'gave up', I didn't really ~ I simply chose to do something different. This mindset means I don't get cravings and makes all the difference. My big Ebay sale was to buy me my new toy ~ and yesterday I bought a Lemond Alpe D'Huez. I've just come back from my first 50 mile ride, Erdington - Nuneaton - Hinkley, and I'm buzzing with endorphins. So, there you go Phube - Lemond, the lowCal version of Disco Bob.

Daggers Posted 20 April 2007 Author Posted 20 April 2007 Wait a mo'!!!! That bike's got no pedals!!! I know...eleven hundred quid and then you have to buy the damn pedals. Saucy, huh.

Daggers Posted 20 April 2007 Author Posted 20 April 2007 I owe you about six pints Greg. Hurry up and get this mid-life crisis over with so we can go down the pub. My mid-life crisis involved a shedload of cocaine, a bloke that used to shut people's fingers in filing cabinets for a living and a bevy of naked South American totty. As a crisis went, it wasn't bad.
Nationwider Posted 20 April 2007 Posted 20 April 2007 The Lemond Meringue Pie is far cheaper, but less forgiving in the calorie department...
Daggers Posted 20 April 2007 Author Posted 20 April 2007 I was going to get a LeMond Harpic - but the seat meant it was a real pain in the arse and didn't stop squeeking once it was going...
