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..

Beezerpost 11

We had planned to go to the Sammy Miller round at Rhayader but after torrential rain for 2 days before the trial and more on Sunday morning we decided to give it a miss.... fair weather rider - I know!!!

The bike has been away with Steve Gagg for the last week or so and has been fitted with a great new exhaust and silencer along with a modified bash plate - cane back yesterday and looks fantastic, however the PVL appears to have broken down as we have no sparks at all!

Will be trying out other PVL parts off Brads spare Cub next week to see what has failed so hopefully it will be ready to run next weekend.

For any readers that didn't know, the Retro Trial that my Dad runs in Welshpool has been cancelled due to a shortage of entries. We have therefore decided to run a trial on Steve's farm at Martley (Back of our house) on Sun 5th July. I know there are plently of other events on the same day but it should be a good event and if we get no more rain then the stream should be low enough to use some other sections that have not been used before.

Will post some pics of the bike when the ignition has been sorted

Bye for now!
