Rubbish!

The guy was learning the other guy in green was not looking.

Did you watch the same clip I watched? :roll: Clearly the guy in the red who was the uphill skier was out of control and clearly the guy in the green was NOT a learner :?:

What are pump classes?

Ally - we call them Body Pump over here, your local Bannatynes or LA Fitness should do them, they're really good for overall muscle tone but particularly the quads :lol: :lol:

How far is the Chiltern bike ride? I used to do quite a bit of biking in my young days. In fact I biked down here when I 'emigrated' from London - 250 miles in 4 days over the Chilterns, Cotswolds, Black Mountains etc., about 60 miles a day, and on my Dad's old bike he had made for himself in about 1950 - a real classic bike.

Ally - it's 100km with over 1600metre ascent. I reckon it should take about 5 hours or so :shock:

That's most impressive. Well done :thumbup:

You'll be able to feel quite smug now as you whiz past all the poor people resting in various places on the slope because their legs hurt too much :D

I have to admit I feel quite smug when other people in my ski class are complaining about their legs (or 'les jambes' in my French class) or collapsed in a heap on the snow, and I'm feeling fine. But it is a lot of hard work, getting that fit.

I reckon it's good for me anyway, at my age, to try and keep my weight down and my fitness levels up. But if it wasn't for ski-ing I don't know that I'd bother. It is a very good incentive.

Ally

Thanks Ally, I can do smug very well :wink: I decided that at 35 years young it was about time I did something other than potatoe couching :oops:

So I'm doing a duathlon in May around Silverstone and one of the Chiltern 100 bike rides in June :shock:

Tony, I know you've done both the hotel and the chalet thing, in your opinion whic do you prefer and why? We've always done the hotel thing and are considering chalet for next year as there may be a few of us going.
