Little Cannock loop Friday 20th meeting at swinno 10am

Yes mate  

Hi Gaz only did the one run loved it straight down the red great jumps  
mess good to finally put a face to a name  

that at first aid kit I was on about was  10 pounds mate I'll post a pick up for ya later 

Cheeky shit - I'd love to be as 'unfit' as you, yer lying get!

Was a good ride but once again showed me how far backwards my fitness has gone, I'm ok on the 'downs' but by the cringe I'm shit at climbing right now. Need to drop a stone, minimum over winter or the Helvellyn thing is just a non starter.

Thanks to Polish Rob (a workmate) who entertained us all on Stegasauros by doing a back flip with double twist, about 30 seconds after boasting how 'I haven't had an off in ages' 

Stile cop was great but time more than anything stopped us doing a second run (plus that push up is a biaaatch)  

I honestly, on every climb, had lost sight of him by 30 seconds in.

He's so full of it, he squeaks when he walks. 

Fit as a fiddle me... And my idea of a balanced diet is not having pizza two days in a row

Did you go off that wooden bridge thing after the big berm then off the ski jump? Only done red run twice but I didn't even consider them haha

Same here mate.  Unless you are like Andy Watson who, at 60 odd is freakishly fit, once you hit your 50's the years of ale and takeaways come back to bite you on the arse.  It can be combated, but it gets harder to do as you age.  I think back to my 30's and like you say, you think you'll always be a 32 waist and be able to run up anything all day.
I'm getting very, very frustrated with the state of my fitness, but at least I'm still around to moan about it, I s'pose.

Well said Neil. There is no easy answer but hard graft and cutting down on stuff.

Cough cough you was pulling me up the hill and you even over took two fat blokes on bikes
