I look just like this when I'm biking.

If the January fitness plan fell on its wobbly posterior a few weeks into the New Year, don’t despair – I come armed with incentives to start anew. The weather has been beautiful for, ooh, at least a few hours. It’s a matter of months before you have to attempt a bikini. And news has reached my shell-like about a drooladacious sports sale starting today – surely a sign from the fitness god.

So first things first. If our menfolk have taught us anything over the years it’s that the major benefit of exercising is that you can spend loads of money buying brilliant gear to do it in. Does your other half have every gadget, accessory, lycra garment available to assist his training? Well now it’s your turn.

There is now a whopping 50% off Rapha womens gear. I KNOW!!! Rapha is the world’s coolest bikewear brand, regularly collaborating with fashion designers such as Paul Smith. It is running its Festa Della Donna from today until Sunday only, inspiring women to get out on their bikes and look damn good while they’re at it. Check out the stuff here http://www.rapha.cc/shop/womens.

That’s it. I have put the lid on my fairy cake tin (sob). It’s time to get fit.

See you in the pelaton. x
