The talk of increasing Vo2 Max the other day got me to thinking (a dangerous state of affairs at any time). I have an incredibly dull and minor condition called Raynaud's syndrome (or sometimes Raynaud's Phenomenon however I can't call it that without adding nah nah nee nah nah afterwards). This feeble problem basically causes the blood vessels to go into a temporary spasm affecting blood flow with the outcome being that extremities like fingers and toes get cold and go a deathly share of white (so in summary I get cold hands and feet).

I waddled down the corridor and checked with a colleague of mine today who specialises in sports medicine to see if I could blame this for being crap at sport. Apparently in some ways yes because my body will be inefficient whilst that his happening at transporting oxygen. She did say however that it is less of a problem than me being a fat biffer. Of course at this point I proceeded to club her to death with the large Toblerone I was scoffing so only the first part of her message should be relied upon.

I therefore laugh in the face of your gammy knee @bobinski I have a proper excuse and it is a syndrome so I require a disabled parking bay at the start of all Bkool races. @gbrown please take my debilitating phenomenon (nah nah nee nah nah) into account when working out the handicap in the future, I believe a dispensation to use a mobility scooter in uphill races only seems fair.

There has been some discussion of saddles here in the past particularly for those with prostate issues so i thought i would post this:

Please see previous comment, I may add one of these to my mobility scooter

Last chance for Ventoux!

Well, with me anyway

Space for one or even 2 more departing 30/06/17 and returning 4 days later on the monday with the option to return a day later on the tuesday. See earlier posts for details. We are booking tomorrow. PM if interested.

Had time to think about it, and afraid i cant make it having brought a new bike for the DD I've got to pay it off.
Is it some thing you do every year? the year after wont be a problem as I won't have a mortgage to pay

You bought a new bike for the DD?!?!? I thought it was just a jolly little outing for the day, but you're taking it seriously and scaring me now

Top tip, set ground rules for the extra money you will have in the bank, this is how I got my new bike, although I was short sighted and didn't specify that I wanted other things as well, and it seems that saving is now of prime importance. Learn from my mistake

If, like me, you are on the, uh hmm, heavier side and want to boost your fitness level , try this session: http://www.bkool.com/profile/detail/2106008?durationType=DISTANCE&lapCount=1. It's 15.5 miles of a constant 1% decline. Managed it in 31.5 mins so just over the hour ftp requirement.No good for the really quick guys but got me a 5 level boost .Chuffed with that.

@Daddy Pig I've seen your effort in the latest goat stage over 1000 watts at one point.

We used to have a very large kitten, so large we ended up calling it Fat Bastard, shortened to FB in front of guests and when shouting for it in the garden. Can I call you FB in future? Obviously I will mean fat biffer

And you will still tan my arse by many minutes!
Interesting route as there are some steep sections and some 100m sections of low gradients to try and blast, or in my case rest!
