Feeling good - just got off the trainer - I managed 45 mins at a nice steady pace, legs going at about 102 rpm average power output was 194 - still well short of where I want it to be but a good increase on the time.

I have had word from two lads who used to be in my form - they must left school years ago - in fact it could be 8 and 10 years ago.

This bike thing has already ben a bit of an eye opener - or the lads who have made contact already one live in Brussels, one in Canada and one in Kenya. The best I did was to move from Audenshaw to Mottram.
