Update

We have a date for Kirsten's operation. She is due to be admitted to BCH on Monday the 12th September for her operation on the 13th. With all this going on I haven't done anymore training.

We have successfully managed to assemble a team of six victims, I mean volunteers, (including me) willing to suffer to raise money for the charity.

Thanks to Steve, Simon, Nick, Mark and Gavin for volunteering (although Steve and Nick didn't take much convincing), it is appreciated.

First Training Ride

Monday 29th August was my first training ride. After a minor mechanical issue when my chain came of on the first climb, I managed 10.35 miles in 51:58 minutes. I'm a bit disappointed with the result as it was a climb that finished me off. However, this is the first structured exercise since before the birth of my daughter and my first time on a bike for nearly twenty years, so things can only get better.
