It’s 60% time

At the start of the year I set a goal of riding 70km per week, every week. I also wanted to lose 14-15kg from my 1/Jan fatbastard weight of 89kg. So far I’m about 60% for both: with sportstracker and my new garmin edge 705 unit I’ve now tracked approx 1500km (2500km would have been on target), and I’m down to 80-81kg. So it’s generally good, but I could be doing better.Having last week mostly sick didn’t help on the distance front either – gastro+flu virus recovery recommendation from my doc is “don’t do anything strenuous for the next 10 days – or I’ll be seeing you again too soon!”

I can’t afford the time off ill, and I’d really like to get back in the saddle sooner rather than later, so it doesn’t seem unreasonable to do it with at least half a brain cell.
