More information...

Just thought I would add some more info re my new bike, it is an Avanti bike, model is Circa 1, I believe this is an Australian/New Zealand company. Instead of getting a straightforward road bike, I got a cyclocross bike which is higher at the front end(good for people with shitbad backs)The tires are thicker than a road bike,I am swapping these out to get a little thinner ones, but if you google the sport cyclocross ,you will see its a cross between mountain biking and road racing.So the bike is durable and will suit different purposes.
Now I will stop boring you all about the bike-but believe me there were people who wanted more info!!
I could ramble on about it all day, but won't.....this time.

I weighed in today at 98.3 kg-.6kg down from my gain over the festive season, my lowest before then was 96.9 kg-so at least heading in the right direction again, Phew!!

My back spasmed again this am,so off I went finally to the Dr, nurses are the worst at getting things checked out,I am having an xray tomorrow- then off for some intensive physio,just when I thought I was making some progress..

We have the Tour Down Under bike race starting here next week, we always go and watch a stage or 2 , so looking forward to that. So have a good weekend everyone, I am still catching up on my reading of blogs, so apologies for the lack of comments etc.:)
