Day 1 \ In the begining......

there was a plan. Well more of a thought that i blurted out. Today marks the start of my preparations for next years Lapinarello and it is fair to say there is some work to do. Firstly the objective is to enter a Team and the invites will be out soon. Secondly i have never  cycled further than to the shops and lastly if i am going to do this theres no way i'm humphing 103kg's up an 1800m ascent, so the first goal is to shed 6kgs. It might not sound like much but for you i'll do the math. I have a lung capacity of about 5.5L with a bodyweight of 103kg's that gives me a VO2max of about 54 ml.kg-1.min-1. If i drop to 97kg that goes up to 57  ml.kg-1.min-1, an improvement of 5.5% and i haven't even sat on a bike yet. WINNER!!!!!
