So how's the training going?

Answer - not half bad. It's difficult getting out these evenings, as the darker nights are drawing in pretty seriously now, and I don't exactly want to end up dead in a ditch. Nice little gentle 10 miles from Greenisland to Carrick, up the Victoria Road to the Upper Road, and back to base. 50 minutes on the MTB, which is certainly not Lance Armstrong territory, but creditable enough for my nobbly tyres and the hills, I suppose. I'd like to knock at least 10min off that circuit before heading to Jordan...
