However I'm now on a countdown for my next European adventure.
25 days to go!
Work work work has occupied me for rather a long time and sadly I'm not as fit as I'd like..having been well sub par health wise for the past 2 months, but I think I'm now on the up again.....Famous last words..but hopefully true this time.
Sooo..this time round the focus is not split between language school and training.....noooo..this time it's all about the bike.

The mountains I'm climbing (alongside Lorraine and Alex...well I'll be alongside them at the start of the climb at least) are the iconic climbs of the Dolomites and Italian Alps eg the Stelvio, Mortirolo, Gavia, Giau, Pordoi, Monte Grappa, Bodone, San Boldo, Croce d'Aune, Selle Ronde, Tre Croci, Tre Cime to name just a few. There will be photos...if only so I can legitimise stopping!
hopefully after all effort involved in heaving my sorry self over those skyscrapers I'll be mega fit and rail thin!
