So I haven't posted in a while, usually you just get the studies of 1John, the last one of which was a survey of 1 John and I just read some verses I wanted to highlight, now I need to choose what to do next for our Tuesday night prayer meeting messages.

Also I decided to do some of the free courses available at class central  http://www.class-central.com/ and have completed the first course CS101 which is a intro to Computer Science. 

Now trying to do ST101 Intro to Statistics and CS215 Algorithms  which I'm finding quite challenging. Doesn't help that I've got to review my high school maths as well to get through this.

After 6 weeks being off the baaiesukkel I decided to take up the challenge of riding every day of the Tour de France http://www.letour.fr , so far I've managed 285Km this past week at the woeful avg speed of 21Km/h with about 2300m of climbing HR avg 84% of max. Of course this is nothing to what those guys are doing around europe but for me it's good. I'm also sure I'll get my speed up a bit as  I go on.

Most of the rides have started and ended with this view from the front door (photo taken last october) at some ridiculously low temperatures (it's the middle of winter here). I've been navigating using Jupiter and Venus in the sky. If I'm going to go madder I might as well do it properly leaving at ~4:30am. I'm going to try and incorporate a bit more sanity this week doing more rides to/from work though.

Anyway it's late so I think that's enough from me for now.
