2nd training day

A certain theme to my cycle training plan appears to be developing - have just returned, on bike, from Thursday night last orders at the Irby Mill - an energy sapping 2.2 miles return journey!

Of note, amazing how fast one can cycle after a pint and half of Bombardier!%*?

Anyway, also completed an 11 mile trip this morning down to Meols, West Kirby and Caldy and I must admit that the recently purchased, specially for cyclists, 'padded' boxer shorts (£19.99) - on their 1st outing today - did NOT live up to expectations... Padded boxies??? Padded my arse! (no they didn't). No discernible difference to the 2-4-£1 Tesco Value boxer shorts - this is a psychological blow to preparations

Total training distance to date:- 17.2 miles

Keep those legs turning Birty (unlike your shoulders in golf).
When you get back I'll tell why I've renamed you TPC Birtwistle at RLGC.
