I have to start this blog by thanking my sister Jan for her very generous contribution to the cause. She has donated £150 with the promise from my brother-in-law Ben that he will match that amount if I can manage the trip in under 10 hours (they reckon an experienced cyclist should do it in 6½-7 hours so I'm being optimistic). A most generous gesture from the pair of them so a very big thank you indeed. Jan must have been on the Pinot Grigorio when she made that donation!!
Training has been very so-so this past week. Not a great deal to say about it to be honest with you. Still pedalling into work and building up for the big training push in the new year. I'd still love to hear from those of you with any tips or good locations for practising my hill climbing.
Bad news this week from home is that Harvey has realised what his legs are there for and is now hurtling around the front room like his dad after multiple pints of Guinness. He took a few tentative steps last Wednesday and since then he seems to have learnt very quickly indeed. Yesterday I was cooking Sunday lunch when I turned around to see him removing most of our crockery from the kitchen cupboards. Usually I would have heard him patting the floor as he crawled in but he obviously has a bit of ninja in him as he stealthily made it into the kitchen before causing widespread destruction.
