Training Blog

This is my training blog that details how I am getting on training for a cycle ride from my home in the West Midlands to Brixham, South Devon which is scheduled in June 2009. I am doing this to raise money for Rowcroft Hospice who cared for my mother who passed away in April 2008 due to Motor Neurone Disease.

Enjoy the read....I had not been on a bike since I was a teenager and this is a whole new world to me, however I am determined to succeed, for my Mum and for the personal challenge.

June 25th - I've had some post

Today before work the doorbell went and I am now the proud owner of a bike helmet, padded lycra shorts (keep calm ladies)!!! and gloves. However obviously I still dont have my new bike! I did have an email though saying that the order is now processed and it will be sent to me ASAP. Saturday in now only 2 days away and Becky is out tomorrow night so I cannot go for a ride then. I think I will go out for 1 hour to try and get used to the bike on Thursday night before Becky goes out and then may ride into work on Friday. This will then be followed by Saturdays ride!!! Keep checking back for photos and progress, my training is finally about to begin..
