Fundraising gets a boost...

Commuted in at last, 17^th January was the last time I cycled to worm - I hope I am over all of the mechanical problems for a while now.  New brake pads have made a world of difference. The weather is rubbish at the moment but I am looking forward to the ride home.

Yesterday was a great day, the gym were bending over backwards to provide support and be involved with the challenge.  My Just Giving page has already been pushed around their FB group which has resulted in a couple of donations. They have offered me free membership until after the challenge so I can train and also offered to call a number of their commercial contracts asking for sponsorship and gear.

We are also planning an All Day Spin in their reception which will be advertised on FB and also on their newsletter.  Whatever we make will be a bonus plus I get extra training - all good.

I have a long ride planned tomorrow with Spence; he has just bought a new road bike and is keen to try it out.  I suspect we will take in some of the rolling countryside around Uffington and south of Wantage up to the Ridgeway.  The aim is to go for 5 hours of peddling, always much easier with someone to chat to.
