The Epic Begins....

Alex and I will be partaking in a 'Women v Cancer' cycle ride - a mere 400km across Cuba. The funds raised will be divided equally between: Breast Cancer Care, Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust and Ovarian Cancer Action.. some money will also be donated to help women fight cancer in Cuba....

So NOW all we need to do is ... get fit ... and raise £3,000 each.... Oh yes, and Alex will be losing weight too :-)

No cycling for me this weekend - but I did manage a walk!!

So this weekend Lisa, Gordon and baby Jonas came to stay - I had a lovely weekend with them.. but didn't manage to get out on my bike.. but some things in life are more important :-)

I did get out for a walk on friday with Rowena and Sue .. haven't seen Sue for ages so was lovely to catch up.  We did a 10 mile circular walk near Lazonby in the Eden Valley - the weather was glorious .. although there was still a cool wind blowing.  It's an interesting walk with lots to see - Addingham Church, Long Meg stone circle and Lacey's Caves... there's also a lovely tearoom at Little Salkeld - it's a working Watermill actually.  Quite idylic really... stove on, sun shining, lovely food (including an amazing blackcurrent bakewell tart with yoghurt!!), miller grinding the corn .. and good company.... nice :-)

The weather the rest of the weekend wasn't too good - so wouldn't really have been enticed out on my bike .. couldn't anyway it's in getting overhauled after last week's ride around Kielder where the chaing came off - thought as good a time as any to get it serviced!!

Found a couple of long routes around home - one a 50 mile circuit and the other 75 miles.. something to do in the Summer!

Lisa wants to do the Cumbria Way Cycle Ride in the Summer too - would be lovely to have her company .. she's also offered help in any way she can :-)
