There is a fantastic route out from Stratford that heads out to Broadway then across to Chipping Campden before heading around Mickleton and back to Stratford. Its one of my favourite training rides as it manages to take in a few nice hills.
I have started delivering a few bikes out to people staying in farms and cottages over past Mickleton and keep thinking to myself it must be a fantastic place to spend a week. Loads of cycling and perfectly placed to take in Stratford as well as the Cotwolds. If you are thinking of heading that way I would thoroughly recommend one place called Lowerfield Farm to anyone!
Dont forget to call and hire bikes before you set off though!!!!
Keep cycling

May Bank Holiday
Looks like it is going to be a busy weekend. I have a load of new Trek Hybrid bikes which are great if you want to cycle a little bit further afield. I am getting quite a few people book them for a few days and touring on them and the feedback is that they are great.

April Showers
Talk about changeable weather. Saturday was fantastic and everyone who went out cycling had a great time in almost summertime weather! Forecast was due for rain on Sunday so as I expected no one to hire bikes in the rain I ran the Shakespeare 1/2 marathon. Rather than raining it was roasting, good job I didnt run the whole marathon - well done everyone who did!!!
Just as my last customers had cycled off towards the Greenway the heavens opened! Everyone came back soaked!! Hope you all had a good ride anyway!
It would be good to get a good run of nice sunny days in May.

London Marathon over for another year!
Great day. I am absolutely shattered and my legs are killing me.
Good news is that my poor preparation and injuries along with a final week preparation consisting of getting completely blotto at the Runners World awards on Thursday night meant I was able to manage a PB today.
Unfortunately I missed my goal of sub 3hrs again by 2'1/2 minutes but a pb is a pb. Looks like I will have to find another event in a few months to get the sub 3.
Congratulations to all at Stratford AC who ran today!! Also congratulations to the Marathon lads (Mick n Phil) who won the Jane Tomlinson award at the Runners world dinner!!
Now to look forward to more swimming and cycling

London is Looming and its snowing!
Only one week to go until the London Marathon. A whole group from Stratford AC goes down every year for 26miles of torture. After flogging myself in the Midlands Road Relays yesterday and my last run of any length before next week I am looking forward t it.
I have bought a nice new bike from the Cycle Studio which has got me cycling again. The guys in there are great and have set me up on a nice carbon number! I am just desperately trying to make sure my wife doesnt find out how much it cost!! SO after London the triathlon season looms.
I have been really impressed with just how many people have been brave enough to get out and hire bikes over the last couple of days. JUst get out there and do it.

End of Feb already!!!
How on earth does time pass by so quickly?
I still havent managed to swim or cycle very much but as the weather gets better I am starting to feel the urge.
A weeks skiing in Chamonix has meant a break in the running. I ran in the Xcountry national champs today which showed my lack of fitness!!! Long run in the morning then as London starts to loom. The Rioja I am drinking whilst writing this wont help.
Bookings are streaming in for the months ahead - weather has to be better in 2008!
