Happy New Year!

Pleasantries over, on to the resolutions then....

I will be fitter this year and will be cycling in excess of 5000 miles.
I will endeavour to get out with the club most weeks.
I will organise a long distance ride and complete it this year
Weight will be maintained sub 11.5 stone on average!

Ref the new cycling season, as per last post, can't wait till it all kicks off (quite literally) in the TDU.
Team Sky to make a massive impact and challenge for / scoop up early season victories all over the place.
The Shack to muscle in on the act too.

Still think that Bertie (even without a team to speak of) and Mr A Schleck will be tough to beat in the Tour, but my heart will forever go for Lance (could we see the old postal blue train / disco boys reincarnate in July?) and don't forget Wiggo either and his awesome support cast too.
Cav to continue where he left off, but also develop the cycling brain and get the green jersey in the tour this year.

Off the road will be interesting watching the seperate games of chess played out by Johan and Dave (Brailsford), on that note is Swifty going to Sky yet - do we know? Is Cav gonna jump ship to Sky ready for 2011?

Time to sit back and watch the action unfold, now where did i put Wiggo's autobiography...?

Happy christmas!

Hey!

yeah yeah i know, a few days too late but its a bit sad striking up your laptop on the day innit?

So roll call of pressies was great:

• A couple of Twin Six T-Shirts probably the coolest bike related T-shirts in the known universe.
• A couple of CD's - Kings of Leon and Ian Brown
• A few books - Chris Evans and Wiggo Auto Biogs, Ben Elton newbie plus LEJOG Guide to name a few
• Wii Fit Plus Game - watch this space for new fitness regime coming your way
• Others included - New Wallet, socks and sweets.

Furnished myself with a Nokia 5800 phone pre-xmas which i am loving - internet everywhere, so twittering is on the increase.

Looking forward to the new cycling season, will be making predictions just after new year, along with mileage targets etc but can't wait to see Team Sky and the Shack in the peleton, plus hoping Cav continues to obliterate all in his path and goes green this year?

Still a week of hol to go, so maybe another posting or two may surface, but for now wherever you are - A hapy christmas, and if its late i hope it was a good one, if like me you are still off work - eek it out as long as poss!!!!

Team Sky / The Shack

Wiggo to Sky then (At last)? http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/10122009/58/team-sky-expected-confirm-wiggins.html

Not sure about Swifty though (Katusha got a bit grumpy when Sky announced him on the TDU roster when he is still under (their) contract!

The Shack have a prototype shirt out - a bit Silence-Lotto isn't it?
