Well done but not over.

let me explain. The ride is done and the 2010 Etape caledonia is over. However the journey that it inspired is only just beginning. This year is a year to improve and enjoy the summer events being stepping stones or landmarks from one place to another. I have changed myself physically and continue to do so. With these changes I have found new friends enjoyed old ones in different ways and made myself feel healthier nad happier.

As this year progresses so will come the winter and training for 2011. I hope for improvement and enjoyment as I follow this new course. I feel lucky and happy to do what I could not do before.

4hrs 9mins 20seconds one great memory. :-) Thanks Tracy for everything.

Almost time

I am amazed at how a month can pass so fast. I am amazed at how six months has passed. In a week I hope to be sound asleep waiting for the morning to come. Breakfast, dress, check, kiss then on my way. 7.15 miles easy easy then 82 miles about as quick as i can manage. I have done it before so I do not have any thoughts in my head of a negative nature. I can but how fast, well 20.5mph at least is the idea.

Last time I was not by any stretch at my best, nor my best output. I was not even able to hide in the draught of another not for any part of the day. So this time will be new and hard but whatever the outcome the time or average I intend to have a great day out.

I will be all the better knowing T will look after me before and after and no doubt be with me along the way as she always is.
