I was up at 6:30 for porridge and then a bike ride with Rich. We got on the Rea Valley Route again but this time we headed into the city centre. It was eye-wateringly cold but we found a way of keeping the hands warm - wear latex gloves under your normal gloves. Your hands may smell like condoms but at least they'll be toasty!
We managed a speed of 6.9mph over 10.9 miles which shows that Rich's fitness is improving already. Ah, the wonders of cycling. Anyway, details are here:

I then cycled from Monskpath to Solihull and back [5.4miles] on the mountain bike. Unfortunately, by the time I'd got home I was feeling like crap: sore throat and aching all over. I was tempted to lift some weights but I've heard that lifting while you're ill can do more harm than good.
Then the snow came and I spent the rest of night in a huge snowball fight and building walls out of the stuff. Got home sweaty, happy, but still rather ill!
