So far I'm knitting socks and a few mittens and hats. Perhaps after the craft sale, I can knit a few arm warmers and try selling them to cyclists....

But the facebook stint has already paid off! I got my first donation today! Wahooo! Only $2975 to go!

The training is going ok. I have seriously slowed my bike down though. I got fed up of fixing flats several times a week because of all the flint chips and twigs with spines on the ground. So I got puncture resistant tyres, but they are a bit fatter and slower. Then I got fed up of carrying a heavy backpack when riding to carry rain gear, change of clothes, extra layer for when its cold etc etc. So I got a rack and panniers which makes my bike weigh quite a bit more. But imagine how strong I could get riding with all this extra weight!
