Evening,

Bad year on the bike last year (680miles all in!) compared to a few thousand the year before. Anyway last week I got fed up of being chubby and signed up for my first ever Sportive - Lionheart down in Somerset. I signed up to give myself a kick up the arse and a reason to train...

Massively out of shape but have put an 1 hour on the spin bike each day for the past week. Finally got my gear out today and went for my first ride since september - did a 45mile solo, which was relatively straight forward - tired, but not absolutely hanging! Planning to keep the spinning going each day with progressively longer rides each weekend - should be in shape in time.

Any of you signed up this year? As at the moment I am riding alone as my friends have jibbed...

Cheers
