The 1st of December has rolled around again which means a number of things... A new page on my Girls Aloud calendar, only 25 sleeps to Christmas and that training for the new season starts in earnest.
As Alistair pointed out, base training is the order of the day, I've been trying to keep going through November to prime myself a little but i had to take last week off to get a new mech and chain fitted (after the old ones had an unplanned coming together with my back wheel), and this week due to getting some wire removed from my elbow.
All in i reckon i've got 7kg to lose before the new season, but the KMB trip to Spain and Ali's fat jokes will help a lot. Me him and Vicky are flying from Liverpool to Malaga on Sunday for a week of long, warm (hopefully) base rides. I'll leave my ego at home and just keep one eye on the HRM and one on the scenery and I'll hopefully be in better shape when i get back than when I left. Sadly, i don' think i'll be pulling out the same sort of performances as one J. Ullrich when i saw him on Majorca a couple of years ago, twiddling along without a care in the world at 22mph on a 39x16!
Hopefully, i'll have some photos of the week to put up when i get back but before i set off i've still got to find my passport, clean my specializeds and remind the rest of them about Spain's killjoy helmet laws.
