Ive decided not to do the Fred as I didnt really get the training miles in that I needed to, and with not completing London Marathon Ive continued with high mileage run weeks ready for Windermere Mar' (on 20th May).

Gave my ride away to a mate down in London who didnt get in when it opened. He's managed to get name change with the organisers and is hoping to finish in the fastest dozen or so (certainly a lot quicker than I would have)


I'll still probably be around on my bike next weekend though - nowt like joining in after 25 miles to a) give oneself a bit of a lie-in, and, b) get me over Hardknott without walking.
