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 :-)

Poster, sponsorship, letters... but no cycling today!!!

So today the weather was grey, gloomy - I'd had a hard week at work.. so decided to try and get some sponsorship ... oh yes - and a poster for the gym!!!


Poor Sandhy Robinson-Jones - think it nearly drove her to distraction.. but she completed it at a rapid rate of knotts ... off to printers now!!

I ended up spending all morning writing to people, writing for favours/help.. it came good with Anne Pickles (Associate Editor) Cumberland News writing back to say 'great feature piece' and she'd call me start of the week!!! RESULT :-)  Will ensure Alex gets a mention in it - after all it was her who set me off on this adventure :-)
Also wrote to CFM where Trudy worked - nothing back yet .. not so hopeful there!!

Collected my bike from it's Silver Service at BikeSeven mid afternoon - down there the sun was shining .. lovely afternoon - but only had time for a walk around Talkin Tarn ... stunning!



Managed with a great deal of pushing and shoving to get my bike in it's new bag and in the car!!! WHY???? Oh well at least it's in - tomorrow it's going on the road with me!!
