So another week of NO cycling has come and gone, and with it the World Cup too. Not sure if I am happy or sad that the World Cup is over though. It’s been awesome to see how well South Africa did at hosting the event, but in a way it will be good to have things back to normal. Hopefully with that I’ll actually get on my bike again and start getting that fitness up. I played squash again last week, and I can feel that it is helping me with my base fitness, and also with working other muscles that I don’t normally work when riding. Hopefully it’ll make me a better cyclist.
I think the race that I am going to start training for is the Spring Classic. I did it last year, and it was quite enjoyable except for the fact that I forgot to take any hydration with me. 
This year I won’t forget it, and will try to get a better finish than I did in last years race.
Finally a HUGE congrats to Spain who won their FIRST Soccer World Cup. 
Happy riding peeps. 
So since I haven’t been doing much riding the past few weeks I figured I need to do something to try keep fit. Yeah, I still play action cricket, but that doesn’t really do much for ones fitness.
So I’ve decided that I am going to start playing squash again. I really enjoy squash, and it’s a nice way to get more flexible (which I am sure will help my cycling in some way), as well as very fit. If you play squash against someone on the same level, or just a little better than yourself, you tend to get fit very quickly as there is a lot of running around done. The one thing I am not looking forward to is the sore muscles. I always find I work muscles that haven’t been worked in a while when I play squash for the first few times after a long time away from playing.
I will try keep the squash up, even when I start cycling again. On the cycling note, I might be going for a little bit of a ride this weekend. Not sure where it’ll be, as I think I’ve lost a lot of my fitness, so don’t want to go on a long ride, only to really suffer. Especially since I’ve just got over the flu.
Have a goodie.
