After brekkie, I met my mate Rich in Canon Hill Park to do a bit of cycling. He'd borrowed a Giant mountain bike and was about to turn a pedal for the first time in over 20 years.
It was bloody cold.
Anyway, after I'd recovered from a severe case of new bike envy, we set off along the Rea Valley Cycle Route and then onto the canal heading southeast. We did over 8 miles which is quite good for a first-timer. People on the cycling forum I'm a member of state that a trip of around 2 miles is not uncommon for a complete beginner.

Back at home it was a case of doing some DIY with my mate Eric. This involved me carrying fence panels while Eric blasphemed a lot and did things with self-tapping screws and a drill.
Self-tapping screws?
In the evening, after picking up 6 girls from the cinema (it was a noisy car), I had a healthy dinner and then attempted to lift some weights. It was a little difficult because I was still sore from the crash yesterday. I could do curls and squats, but it was far too painful to do any overhead presses.
Early to bed, no booze!
