Just received my new bike Sat Nav - state-of-the-art Edge 800 - up to now I've been borrowing my partner John's Sat Nav. This has to be the first time I’ve had more up-to-date bike equipment than him. Will start to get to grips with it this weekend.

Also been trying out Hoo Ha Ride Glide. Don’t normally get much in the way of saddle chafing, but I loved the description of this so much on the Minx Girl web site that I decided I had to give it a go! I think it will help, but the tube is enormous and, therefore, heavy so will have to decant some into a smaller container.

Not done as much riding as I would have liked this week as I was away from Saturday to Monday, but managed weights on Tuesday, spin class on Wednesday and a 35 mile bike ride and coffee stop with my friend Kay yesterday. Today it’s more weights in the gym.
