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.

Aug 27th - Injury!

Well I did not go out yesterday and I am gutted.....I did not mention before but when I was in the gym the other day I hurt a muscle in my leg.  I thought nothing of it however yesterday it hurt to walk on it....with this sunday coming up I thought I would give it another 24 hrs rest.  When I woke up this morning it is still no right.  I am convinced everything will be fine for sunday, I don't think I have pulled anything and it is lots better than yesterday but  still not good enough to go out.

I am truly gutted.  I had big plans for these two days off and this hit my training plan.  I now need to get myself right for sunday and then take things from there.  It means I go into sunday (a planned 55 mile ride) having done no more than 40 miles but I am confident it will be OK.

This is not a high point in my training:-(

Hmmmmmmmmm

Hope you are ok.......are you sure the 50 mile planned route is ok? if you have never ridden it!

I plan on bringing the laptop and finalising the routes, so we can plan accomodation (Youth Hostels, Camp sites, B&B, Houses etc)

I still need the email days to dates so we all know the schedule!
