Monday 15th Feb would you believe my blooder computer packed up, but we did the same as yesterday only went to Conwy marina instead of inland, got wet so only did 20 miles in total.

Tuesday 16th Feb. Amazing ride out from Conwy on B road all the way to Betwy Coed. Brilliant ride, some cheeky hills incl 1 in 9 out of Conwy. Computer still not working, but B clocked it as 38 miles. Mr K joined us and it was a fab day out. We even got a bit of sun on the return.

Weds 17th Feb. Bit too icy to risk the Orme on bikes, so we walked up there and yomped about for an hour before breakfast.

weds-fri 19th back inside - very poorly and actually had to stay in until saturday to re-hydrate .. this set the tone for the next week .. not very well really

DID, however go round Trentham in Monday 22nd Feb

Tues 23rd went out to Rode Hall with B's mum, shortish walk.

basically pretty rough for the rest of the week and not able to exercise - Feb was not a Fab month for exercise!
