Very excited to announce that I’m now back on the bike. After hanging the bike up in the garage about a year ago, to concentrate on training for the adventures of Camino de Santiago pilgrimmage walk, I’ve been very anxious, although a bit tentative, to start pedalling again.

The Great Cycle Challenge starts tomorrow, and I have committed to riding 1000ks during October. So today, the last day of September seemed like a good day for a practice run.

It was a 6am start and only a 35k ride, but I was really happy with how the body felt after so long off the bike.

I am fundraising for research into kids cancer for this challenge and have committed to raising $500. On October 11, I am having a garage sale of donated goods which I’m hoping will raise many dollars. If you would like to support me and donate to this great cause click here to make a donation.

Thanks to all for your messages of support in regard to the challenge – riding and fundraising. As usual my readers are an amazing support to me. xxx
