No worries, it’s just a computer virus, I’m absolutely fine.
It’s a kinda of embarrasing, working in IT, telling everyone: “don’t open emails or files from unknown sources!!”, “update your antivirus and scan your computer once a week”, etc… and I opened a suspicious file convinced that my 50 euros/year Norton System Security license was a [...]

Today is one of those days that I really understand why people here is so desperate to escape to warmer and sunnier countries as much as possible and I also understand why they are so keen to buy houses thousands of miles away from their places. Today is raining a lot but it’s ok… [...]

Today was hashing day, my favourite hash of the week, not only because the guys are bloody fast and the route are quite tough and that makes a good training but also because these hashings are usually close and I can go there and back home cycling and it’s a kinda of brick session-duathlon training.

I was wondering if I would be able to survive a week of training without my beloved Forerunner. This is how it’s been so far:

Sunday, social bike ride with club mates. Around 36 miles in over 2h20m (or that’s what I guess for other distances/times + my ride from/to home)

It’s funny because when I [...]

I’m not sure yet if I will ride the 100mile route next week but after this ride of almost 70 miles, I reckon I might do 30 more… or maybe not!
Dave, Sergio, Yolanda (Sergio’s girlfriend) and myself with a very poor weather, wet and windy (although today looks much worse). After 30 miles, Dave and [...]

Adam, Sergio and myself. We started with the “easy” Modbury route and then back to Saltash with Adam. Sergio and I thought that it wasn’t enough in a lovely weather like today and after a quick visit to Certini we rode part of my favourite route in Cornwall doing at the end 105km.
We finish the [...]
