2010 has got off to a good start, with a 2hour cycle on the 2^nd of January, however after taking a break from any form of fitness for the last 4 months, it has really showed. The last small incline on the way home almost made me walk, and frustrated me as the Granny with the zimmerframe effortlessly strolled past me.

The reason for the big push is the 2010 Argus Cycle Tour taking place in Cape Town, South Africa on 14 March. A mate of mine has challenged me and has been in training for the last few weeks. We have a bit of cash on the outcome, but the pride for winning the rivalry between us for out weighs the $1,000,000 $50 wager we have on the outcome.

My target is sub 4 hours for the 110km race, which means I should be averaging 30km an hour in training. I am currently at 18km/h (probably the slowest ever) so I am a long way off.
