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 18

It was confirmed today that the new frame will be arriving tomorrow....At the same time I found out that the BMCA Championship Trial due to be held in 2 weeks time has been bought forward to this Sunday!!

It looks like mechanic Pete has a busy few days as he is confident that the first 'dry build' will turn into a 'wet and muddy build' so that I can ride it Sunday with the bare metal frame before it is stripped back down for powder coating and final build after the weekend.

This is probably a good thing in all honesty as it will allow me to give it a run and make sure that everything is OK before it gets painted and completed.

Thanks to Alan Nicklin I also have the offer of an alternative bike for Sunday if anything goes wrong with the BSA build which takes the pressure off a bit.

Will try and post pics as it is coming together and put a report on the site from Sunday.
