So 2019 is over – how did I do?
From a cycling perspective, pretty good. I ended up coming 3rd in my club’s Time Trial series, winning the Vets (over 40) category. I’ve certainly achieved one of my goals, I’m fitter at 43 than I’ve ever been, despite suffering from a mysterious virus at the end of the season that certainly hampered my performance
The even better news is I managed to pass the remainder of 2019 without falling back into old habits. I’m tempted to say those days are now well and truly behind me, and a house move to a new town has managed to put the temptation even further out of reach.
The bad news is, as it turns out I’ve developed a new addiction – buying bike kit. It may be healthier, but its almost as financially ruinous as a nasty drug habit.
