September 2026 has been extremely busy with lots of running around everywhere apart from anywhere overseas, sadly.

A few weekends were taken up with travelling which then meant that weekly Sunday group rides with the Crazy Catz and TICCC had to be missed, which was a pity. I’ve also tried a new app called RealVelo which looks useful.  Oh and that travelling? Well it also included the first of Alison’s bodybuilding competitions: this one was the 2 Bros Pro NPC Worldwide Physique Pro Naturals Classic.  And she did well: ending up with a 1st place and a 2nd place in her categories:

I also started getting physiotherapy for my back, so hopefully there’ll be a bit less grunting when I stand up in future.

The Apple Fitness+ workouts have still taken a bit of a back seat again; I really must get back into them.

So, here are September’s stats:

Turning to my weight, at the end of August I weighed 93.4kg and at the end of September I weighed 91.0kg, so down 2.4kg from last month.

Body fat percentage was slightly down from 27.7% to 27.6%.

August 2026 saw the continuation of the heatwaves hitting the UK which meant that workouts in the Pain Cave were done early and were very sweaty nonetheless! But it was nice to mix in some real-world cycling as well as the virtual stuff: I used the Brompton to drop off the ST for an annual service and to collect it afterwards, which was nice.  We also dusted down the Carrera mountain bikes and shoved them in the back of the ST – it’s an Estate/Station Wagon so has plenty of room especially with the seats folded down – and headed to Windsor Great Park after a regular Sunday morning virtual group ride with TICCC and the Crazy Catz.

August 2026 Statistics

Activities: 71 Distance: 702.32 km Time: 28:10:14 Calories: 20,546

Turning to my weight, at the end of July I weighed 93.4kg and at the end of August I still weighed 93.4kg, so no change over last month.

Body fat percentage was up from 27.5% to 27.7%, which is not insignificant.
