Hedgehogs, wine gums and raiding Aldi

Its only a short one today folks and folkessess, pushed myself on a decent training run the other day learnt a few more things

1) We kill a lot of animals on our roads (we as the British nation, not just Alfie's team) i was up to a hedgehog a mile at one point, surely not good for Britain's indigenous hedgey hog population! also more pheasants than you can shake a road bike at and i was sure i saw a dog at one point. It turned out to be a bag!

2) The best thing about Maltby is the road on the way out! thats not just a joke as well! slightly down hill and meanders through the countryside and most importantly its going away from Maltby.

3) I have developed a motto that certainly kept me going 'Failure is not an option' it does have the capacity to have things added to it, such as 'but it will hurt a lot'

All in all a good ride 72.9 miles my longest yet, i still need to master eating more i don't think i can get 1051mile on 2 kellogg's elevenses bars and half a bag of Co-op wine gums.

The supermarket chain ALDI have been hit hard my Alfies team as people flocked into stock up on everything from gloves to bike pumps for threepence ha'penny!

The training plan 'hairy Rich' has put together looks ruthless and as such i am starting it next week, the ride i did this week has thrown up an injury on my knee that is the result of years and years of kicking people. This is something i am looking into and if i am honest blatantly ignoring, it will be fine!
