April was me coming down to Earth with a bump after a really enjoyable March.

Most of my time was spent in the Pain Cave for more FulGaz rides, mainly my usual  John Hallas’ Weekly Challenges, but during April (and May, although I finished it in April!), the FulGaz Coastal Explorer Tour.

Anyway, here are April’s stats:

April 2025 Statistics

Activities: 23 Distance: 359.88km Time: 14:29:04 Calories:  14,823

Turning to my weight, at the end of March I weighed 86.1kg and at the end of April I weighed 86.8kg, which is up by 0.7kg. Body fat percentage was up from 22.6% to 25.6% which I think is more realistic.

FulGaz Challenges

I realised I hadn’t done a proper update on the main challenges I did on FulGaz last year and this year: the Grand Tour 2025 and more importantly, perhaps, the Ironman Pro Sprint Series.

I can’t link to them, sadly, because with FulGaz’ acquisition by ROUVY, the event pages have disappeared.

Happily, though, I managed to screenshot the overall leaderboards/General Classification (“GC”) tables so I would have a permanent record of how I placed overall.

So here’s the GC for the Grand Tour 2025:

FulGaz Grand Tour 2025 GC

FulGaz Grand Tour 2025 GC

And more importantly, here’s the GC for the Ironman Pro Sprint Series:

So, second on the Grand Tour and third on the Ironman Pro Sprint Series; not bad for an old fart like me.

Today my Ironman Pro Sprint Series medal arrived!
