About Me

I have come into 2012 with a strong desire to be more healthy and reduce my weight to something more acceptable for a man of my age and height. On the 1st of Jan 2012 at the age of 45 and height of 6ft 2in, I weighed in at 18st 2lbs (that's 256 lbs or 116kg). I have a pretty large frame and have always been able to carry a bit of excess baggage but I think its time to do something about it for my health and energy levels more than anything else. The experts suggest that for a man of my height and age I should be about 13.5 st but I have set myself a target of 15 st (210lbs or 95kg) - thats a planned loss of around 3 st (46lbs or 20kg) This BLOG is a record of my attempt to achieve this goal and I have made it public to help keep me motivated and on track. If you have any comments, thoughts or ideas and suggestions please feel free to leave me a message..

Eventpost 29 - Shatterford Dead Easy Trial

On wed 9th July I rode a beginners trial at Shatterford put on by the Bewdley Club. The even was one that I shouldnt have really ridden however I had promised to go along with my friend Steve in order to give him some trials practice on new ground and felt that whilst there it was better to ride than to watch.

Anyway the trial was completed on clean and it gave Steve some good experience so was worth it overall. It also gave me some more practice on the bike and a chance to ride the bike in different gears to understand what it is capable of. In fact I rode each lap in a different gear including the last lap completely in 4th and was amazed at what it could do!
