Last Weeks Training Schedule

With Christmas coming and lots of food, drink and relaxing planned, I thought I should at least try to be good in the run up and get some training in. I haven’t done too badly this year. As well as keeping up with the mountain biking I’ve also got a Turbo Trainer that I now...

New iMac – Set up and Migration

I finally got around to setting up my new iMac on Wednesday. A new computer had been on the cards for a while as mine was 5-6 years old and I do use it everyday in a professional capacity as a freelance website designer. I’ve always been a Mac user, starting way back with a...

It’s Beginning to Feel a Lot Like Christmas

With my birthday over, we are now allowed to start getting into the Christmas Spirit, so we made the most of it on Saturday. First we went to see Santa in his underground grotto at King Arthur’s Labyrinth. There can’t be many Santa’s Grotto’s around the country where you have to wear a hard hat...

Never Ending Mountain Bike Maintenance

The trouble with having a nice Mountain Bike is that it takes a lot of looking after. Not only that, but if you have nice components on it then when they wear out you want to replace them with bits and pieces that are at least equal if not better than the originals and that...

Todays Turbo Training Workout

Don’t worry, I don’t intend to post these everyday as I’m sure you’ll get bored of them soon – if not already. However, I’m enjpying doing them and I like the heart rate graphs I produce in a strange, ‘heart-rate artwork’ kind of way. Of course, if you enjoy these posts or are trying to...
