Funds seem to be picking up.

Last weekend was busy organising things for the all day spin at Unipart; I finally got clear of work by 4pm on the Sunday having scratched around all day to get my gear together. We had a very sedate ride in the morning as I was carrying full kit but although it was a short one (about 30 miles) I had nothing to complain about at the end.

I was ready to go at 7.55 on Monday Morning and basically kept going until 6pm stopping only for several toilet breaks and 10 minutes for an ice cream.  I ate food on the hop and people were very kind when it came to getting coffees etc. I'm not sure how much of an effect the advertising around the building had achieved but there were always people dropping in and out. 

The bucket steadily attracted cash with some people chucking £20 in.  One of the gym instructors and a colleague took the bucket around the building and I still have collection tins in the restaurant.  The total for the day was £250 which was fantasitic. Current total at £1,370 and rising. Thanks to the Lean Machine staff at Unipart for hosting the day.

Felt absolutely fine afterwards except the expected saddle soreness.  I suspect that the effects of this will not be so severe with new shorts as my old ones are very worn.  Tried the Chamois cream too and this helped a bit.
