Introduction

Hi and welcome to my blog.

I am an unemployed banker/hedge fund bloke from London* who has moved to Sydney.

In the absence of anything lucrative or even particularly constructive to do I've decided to keep a diary of my cycle training. I've been cycling for years but have approached it in a pretty unstructured way but I've decided I'd like to do the Gong Ride and would like to try to do the 90km in 3 hours or less.

Frankly that's very optimistic and perhaps even ludicrous as I really am known as a very slow rider (that's not false modesty - I once cycled up Alpe D'Huez on a shopping bike) although one that'll keep going all day. It's good to have a goal though and that's mine.

I don't think this is really meant for public consumption TBH but if you stumbled across it and want to say 'Hi', 'Good Luck' or just call me an arsehole for causing you to lose your job, your investments and your spouse then go right ahead.









*yeah, I know - it's all my fault
