Lent

I unintentionally forgot to put my cycle helmet on this morning and it felt alien cycling along without it.  Clearly I won't give up wearing a helmet for Lent, but what?

Last year I went without bread and it probably helped me with the diet ahead of the TMMB sportive but this year I have decided to give up... spending money on cycle related upgrades until Easter.

Instead I'll do more riding up grades as the great Eddie Merckx allegedly recommended

Superb t-shirts available from Laek House.











One of my work colleagues pointed out that (for Catholics) Lent doesn't apply on Sundays or St.Paddy's day.  So if I get cold turkey then I have a get out clause.
