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 45 - BMCA Champs Round 2 Heightington


Great trial today at Heightington for the second round of the BMCA Championship. It made a nice change from the normal tight and twisty sections that are usually the norm for the BMCA and instead Keith Gardiner put on a great trial along the rocky stream at this venue.

The first lap was quite difficult with all of the slime on the rocks but it soon scrubbed off and made for a really good event.

I actually felt that I rode quite well and looking at the results I guess I found my level as the usual top guys scored really well. Although I lost quite a few marks I honestly think that only about 9 of them should have been saved so I am pretty happy with how things went.

Bike went well and no injuries, which could have easily happened on the slippery stuff!

Next round is at the Old Mine, Kinlet next month.
