Aaah, well almost a year on from last post an still going to do the Alpe but in 2011. Last year training plan was disrupted so in no shape come July to complete the Marmotte. However, did go down with Rupert and did the first mountain while Rupert completed the whole thing in 12hrs 15mins - chapeau! Particularly as I know how little training he did.

Anyway, going to have another attempt this year with both Paul and Rupert. Training started last week first with a trip to the Chilterns with Pete, a modest 30 miles but with three tough hills. Good news is I did not get off, better news is that there is clearly room for improvement. Then down to Kent to see Paul and a short but pretty quick 15 miles. Very enjoyable.

And to kick start the training and weight loss regime have decided to join Pete in abstaining from alcohol in January..... small wager on which of us will loose the most weight, watch this space.
