Globe Cycle

Welcome to the Globe Cycle blog. My name is James Bowthorpe. I am aiming to break the record for cycling around the world to raise £1.8 million for unique research into Parkinson’s Disease. I will be cycling 18000 miles over a period of about five and a half months; cycling 120 miles a day for 150 days (there will be rest days). If I manage this target I will beat the existing record by about three weeks (set by Mark Beaumont).

£1.8 million is a massive fundraising target and I think that the challenge at hand is big enough to match it. My target time teeters on the limit of what I think I can do; the physical challenge made all the more difficult by the psychological barriers I am (apprehensively) anticipating.

I have been volunteering at the research clinic for the last two years. I have seen patients’ symptoms getting better because of the work that the doctors do; often patients are on no anti-Parkinson’s medication at all and they may never need to be. I continue to be impressed by how the research team, lead by Drs. John and Sylvia Dobbs, is tackling the question of Parkinson’s root cause rather than focusing on symptoms alone. I have also been humbled by how much they have achieved on a shoe-string budget.

Globe Cycle has come about because the traditional mechanisms for getting funding for research like this are too slow! Organisations talk about having something that can start to be translated into humans in 15 years. The next phase of the What’s Driving Parkinson’s research programme will take five years and cost around £5 million; a long time for sufferers and a lot of money. However, it is based on a solid foundation; the team already has a disease modifier and several promising leads that the next phase will explore.

17/06/18 A NEW CHILD PURCHASED After some careful #marktplaats browsing earlier this week a shop in Haarlem came to my attention. This one had some pretty neat deals on ebikes. (And by neat I mean NEAT. 20% of original price neat. EBIKES). Realization struck. No more backpains for volpe! No more Suffertimes! And while it saddens me to say goodbye to my trusty old #Kalkhoff wonder who has stuck with me through rain, thunder, ice, snow and trials from hell.... It is time to move on. #bikecourier #peoplescreatives #bikepurchasing #bikeadventures #stevensbikes 😀 #bikeblogger (at Amsterdam, Netherlands)

keep on pedaling.

Since last report I did a real outside ride and another indoor monster spin. 52 km outside, and 16.5 inside.  It is cooler now in fall, and two of the North Shore mountains have started their ski seasons.

My wet weather gear is working well.  I am doing better for November than last year, but I will not be breaking any records.  Early in the season I lost almost 1000 km compared to the year before.  I just totaled the numbers and it surprised me.  It was made up a lot by a busy summer and the long Lotus Club rides.  I am at 110 rides for the year.  That is above average number of rides and I am above average distance for a year. Neither are brag worthy.

One interesting thing is that Saturday in the cool weather I did 8 minute hill in 7:08.  The Ferrari Equation gives me 298 Watts but I corrected that to 259 Watts for the climb.  Ferrari is/was a doctor who was very clever at cycling performance and would be a hero if he were not a doping cheat.  Aside from that his formulas are pretty good and still used by non-dopers.

Anyway that means I am holding on to my summer fitness.  That is good.  I plan to rest over December a bit, but I want to hold this.  Rest is good.

I am mulling over goals.  I have thought about maybe dropping a few pounds.  It would help my climbing.  Thing is I am large, but not really overweight.  I have a bit of a Dad-bod, but no spare tire.  Also my weight can vary 5 lbs over a few days if I do nothing.  I swear I do nothing.  That is a small percentage of my total 2.52% actually.  My bathroom scale of fat percentage wisdom says I am around 15% fat.  That is a healthy level.  I know a guy who is way less, but he is a bit crazy.  He also eats like a bird, is very skinny and would be a phenomenal cyclist if he took it up.

Since weight loss is such a HUGE topic I do not want to trivialize it.  Actually I know how hard it can be.  I am “lucky” I guess. I lost a lot of weight not by accident, but by a highly desirable side effect of my riding.  I do something which is very heavy exercise for fun.  Losing 10 pounds would take about 21 seconds off that 8 minute hill time. It would make me 10.5% fat if I kept my muscle mass.  That gets me into 6 pack territory.  Now the interesting part is both those things could be considered narcissistic. Only I care about my 8 minute hill time.  Only I would care if I looked in the mirror after a shower I saw my abs. My loved ones simply do not care about that stuff. I am not a competitor so it is not like there is a race I could win.  BUT it could give me a real PB on the Whistler GF.  HMMM.

As I can really not exercise that much harder, I would have to cut out stuff I consume.  Smaller meals, no crunchy snacks while watching TV. Less beer.  I like those things. Chocolate and red wine!  I love that!  Sacrifices.  You know I am going to hold off on this.  Xmas is coming and I love to cook.  But maybe I will see what happens as spring turns to summer.  Lotus Clubs loves those damn hills.  It may just happen.

I am still shopping for a new bike.  Damn there is a lot out there.
