Hi.. Im Martin..Im from the UK but currently living in the CZ Republica..
Im 42 years YOUNG!!.. I got into road riding through Spinning at my local DW Fitness Center in the UK. I bought my first bike just 6 months ago and started long distance cycling. I normaly ride between 50 and 100 miles on an average ride out, any less just dosnt cut it for me. Unfortunatly in May..the 29th.. I had a seriouse accident on my Defy 2 2011mod.. i came off the bike in a country lane and broke ALL my ribs on the right side and puncherd my lung. After only 2 weeks in hospital i signed myself out and whent straight back to my gym and continude my road riding, i was more worryed about losing my fitness than the 6 broken ribs that hadnt repaired at the time. 7 month on and i still have 2 compleatly snapped ribs & to add insult to injury back in early november i came off AGAIN and broke 2 ribs on the left side..these Have fixed but i took the advice not to ride for a while till i get my other 2 on the right side surgicaly stabalised. But to be honest i still ride..its as simple as this really.. I have broke ALL but a couple of ribs anyway so if i fall and break the others then what does it matter.. My legs are my assets not my ribs
Yes i am on a Mission..just a few years ago i was 19stone..i lost a stone a month by spinning..in may i was 13stone but because of the orders from the doc and MORE so by the Missis im back upto 15 stone..this is only a minor set back
My mission is to ride the Lands End to Johna Grotes in less than a week..4 days at the most i hope but hopfully a whole lot quicker, for my own satisfaction.!!
