No rest for the wicked ................

Just incase you were beginning to think i was getting slack .......hold that thought !!! in fact its quite the opposite...i've been so busy pedalling away that i've hardly had a spare minute to update my blog. In brief, since my lost post, i've had 6 outings, totalling  230 miles, not bad for 10 days. Most of the rides have been local however we did venture up north to Dunrobin as i had the small matter of a charity abseil down the side of the castle to attend to !!  No rest for the wicked ;-)) it was actually really good fun but a little windy.....





get this !!!guess what we saw when we were on our way to Dunrobin ??? an addder no less.....i nearly had a fit, i'm such a girl ........yuk .....you dont see them every day do you ??


Overall the cycling is coming along nicely, my average speed has increased by a couple of miles per hour, the fundraising is well under way, my thighs are growing by the week which i'm not hugely happy about but hey i guess it was inevitable and i've developed a terrible sweet tooth and a soft spot for snickers !! What else to report ..... i've been getting sports massages from the Inverness Therapy Clinic which are helping enormously and making my legs feel so much stronger so all in all everything is tickety boo. We've booked our support van and started booking our accomodation and refreshment stops so it's all feeling very real now. I'm so excited i can hardly wait ;-))))

Hmmm one last thing ....... i've entered a wee race on june 4th http://www.handsonevents.co.uk/Events/Cairngorm/cairngorm.htm

ok must dash, things to do, bikes to clean, accomodation to book bla bla bla bla
