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.

DAY 3 - June 19th | Still no bike and a new twist.....

Today I heard from ashcycles that it would take 2 weeks to get hold of my new bike in my size. I called another company and they said they same :-(

So tonight i decided that I needed to find a new bike. I could get last years model however I am not too sure, that is my last resort. While searching around the web I found this company http://www.cyclexpress.co.uk/. Its not the most confidence inspiring website in the world however they had my bike, in the new model available for £50 cheaper than anywhere else on the web. They also had an additional offer of 10% off anything over a certain value. I have therefore managed to purchase the bike for £30 cheaper the the 2007 model and £80 cheaper than ashcycles :-)

Let wait and see if this one arrives. I have paid £5 for express delivery which will take 1-2 days so hopefully I should have something Saturday.
