Perhaps I should not be writing this but some things just have to be done. :rolleyes:

OK, my health has not been the best recently, yet you guys always offer advice and encouragement.

I have been pushing myself each day to go out and ride at least 5 miles, the main reason is that myself and our Team of 17 have only got 33 days to go before the London Bikeathon on 19 July. Fortunately, it is only 26 miles but it will still be a struggle for me.

Have also been busy sending letters to try and get sponsorship but with the recession over here, it is not easy.


THEN I GET INTERNATIONAL SPONSORSHIP.................OMG

Snapdragen, you made my day, thank you so much.

It's such a warm feeling that somebody you know you will never ever meet, is prepared to donate.

"I'm fairly certain that given a cape and a nice tiara, I could save the world". Snap, I think you are correct.

Massive hugs to you sweetie and I hope your neck is making a tremendous recovery.

clock -- I don't think it's wrong to post this... I think it's cool! Keep a positive outlook and think "I can ride 26 miles". We're all cheering for you!

Funny how the little things in life can give us such a boost.

Thanks to Snapdragen, I got up early today (as I am still off work) and decided to do a long ride.


WOW, WOW AND DOUBLE WOW!

I had a fantastic morning, now England is not known for too many beautiful days but today was one of those.

I rode 10 miles to a fabulous beach which was deserted, had an hour walking around and paddling :D then returned home. 22 miles in 1 hr 50 mins and I was careful not too go too mad, this has been the best medicine for me.

Friends would not understand any of this but I know you guys do.

Clock...................ticking very fast today!

Hi Eli

WOOHOO! Wow, another mega surprise, cheers m'dear for the donation, it came on such a good day for me too. I am still on cloud nine after my ride today.

Then I remembered you are going to be riding over 550 miles in the AIDS/LifeCycle Ride, now that is really going for it! :eek:

Thanks again, it means a great deal to the charity.

Hugs
