Training update (or not as the case should be!)

NO I HAVEN'T THROWN IN THE TOWEL, I'VE JUST BEEN OTHERWISE ENGAGED! FIRST OF ALL THERE WERE PUNCTURES TO REPAIR FOLLOWING MY LAST RAIN HIT RIDE, THEN I WORKED A SET OF NIGHT SHIFTS (WHICH ALWAYS PLAYS HAVOC WITH ANY TRAINING REGIME) AND THEN, OR SHOULD I SAY NOW, I AM AWAY. HOWEVER ALL BEING WELL I SHALL BE LINING UP ON CLAPHAM COMMON BRIGHT AND EARLY ON SUNDAY MORNING!
