Such a beautiful morning - couldn't resist dusting off my road bike and hitting the road.
Haven't been out much this year as I don't have a boat
What a difference *checks phone app* 128 days not smoking has made to my fitness.
Much faster overall but more importantly my heart rate has reduced dramatically when climbing those hills in sunny Hampshire.
The other benefit of course is maintaining or controlling the weight gain.
Not to mention the £1143.00 that is going towards a beach holiday

Lovely, Finally
I walk (hill walking as well as over the downs locally) and have really noticed the difference not smoking makes too.
Whereabouts in Hampshire are you BTW? I grew up in a village near Winchester.

Top end - 1 mile I'm in your county, another mile in the opposite direction I'm in Surrey - but still classed as Hampshire!

Finally you speed demon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Oh yes - faster than a snail on steroids
I have a Canondale Synapse hanging on the garage wall
Strangely enough I had one of those nicked from the shed a few years ago.
You don't happen to know anything about that - do you? :eek: :eek:

Oooh where did you find that finally?
I think that one was a special build but just search for tricycles - a little less embarrassing than stabilisers
Not my colour either, by the way :cool:

Not what you're looking for? You may also like... last cigarette. But I feel more tired, not eating much and my teeth bleed every time I brush them....
so good, however a sudden bullet of paranoia has hit me.
You see I used to smoke in my room,...
flooded, but thankfully our home is OK (we live on a hill) but friends and family have not been so...
getting me through, my stress has actually been much less upsetting!!
Thanks for reading, I'm off...
