Round the Isle of Wight Preperation

Well it's been a while since my last update and the most noticeable change is that I got married!! Yes my Directeur Sportif, or Wife as she prefers to be known, has put a ring on my finger and made an honest man of me!

We had a glorious honeymoon which unfortunately got my bike involved a lot of eating and drinking and I'm now feeling the effects of that when I'm back on my bike. 

This Saturday is my first post-Wedding bike ride challenge: going round the Isle of Wight. It's a 62mile trip with a few thousand ft of climbing. Doing it with 4 friends so should be quite casual and good fun to boot!

I am currently debating whether to shave my legs or not for the rest of the summer - go full on cyclist for a bit before the hockey season starts in October (where non-cyclists may judge me ;)) 

I will update with pictures if this happens! I think the deciding factor will be my wife...we all know she has the ultimate say. See, I'm good at being married already!
