…shame I got as far as Middleton then before I almost suffocated. I felt ok for the first couple of miles, then when I started to put some power down (I’m using the word “power” very loosely here, I don’t think I’ve got much more than a hedgehog at the moment)  I immedialtely started to wheeze, then went dizzy, then felt like I was asphyxiating.

I turned around and went home. I’ll try again tomorrow.

Bollocks.
