I may have saved a few stills from a series of a very similar name into my photobucket account for just such situations!!! :lol:

I also have this one -

It's not all about what you do, it's mixed with what you eat too. With the job I do I eat lightly all week, have a drink only 1 night, then have a go at the weekend :beer: :D :beer: I also play 18,27,36 or 45 holes of golf a week too, mostly in the summer, light nights and all, great excersise, can also spoil a good walk too :lol:

I found on my last track day I got tired when hanging off the bike. So now as i commute on the bike I ride on the motorway and try to hold my weight off the seat about an inch from one overbridge to the next. Its getting a lot easier so it must be doing something.

Well apart from looking a prat on the motorway....

We've mostly gone off topic here ( as usual :lol: ). Kev's original post was asking does fitness affect riding abilities? My answer would be yes :D simples.

I played rugby yesterday for the first time in years and its the first lot of exercise I have done in a while too. I can't walk this morning. My legs are so painful it's not funny. So exercise, over rated as far as I'm concerned :lol:

It would be nice to get fit again but now work are starting shifts its impossible to get into a routine of eating and exerciseing correctly.

I do think fitness is important especially having a strong core and legs on a bike as you do use them a lot when moving around in a bike . I remember the first time I get my knees down every year and the cramp in my hips I get is bad after a few months of not riding
