Mull 2 Hull 2011

It has started when .....

I was cycling from Mull to Hull 450 miles for a variety of reasons: to have fun, because I was able to, as a part of a survival strategy and to try to raise a shedload of money for charity! ... and I did it £2800 and a much perter bottom

And now... www.theride.org.uk

Friday 13th till Sunday 29th of July 2012

1000 miles, John O Groats to the Olympics, through 5 capitals (Edinburgh, Belfast, Dublin, Cardiff, London), A bunch of cancer patients (past or present) on their bike .... not your everyday journey

Organising a campaigning cycle ride to Have fun.... Cancer is deadly serious, but you can have serious fun with it..............Shout it out, you can live well with cancer because it is part of our lives not our whole life.............Calling for services to get and keep active to give us a better quality of life, through treatment and beyond.

You can join the The Ride

The whole hog, a few days, or a short ride with us, or maybe support The Ride and the campaign.

Life is for living

Friday 26 August 2011

It is the night before

Clothes piling up my bedroom floor still haven't quite decided anything yet. My head is just as messy. Excited ...yes. Scared … well a little bit, but I am not that easily scared … I still think it is going to be no bother. I might be completely utterly wrong.
So tomorrow with 12 others (who I have never met before) cram ourselves in the minibus and start the  journey to up-north to down below. Everybody is doing it for a charity, everybody for a different one . I am a bit unsure if I have to say something about my little  'hiccup' it does not really go well as a easy conversation piece. It is always a bit awkward when people do not know me quite well as I think (possibly I might be wrong on that). It is hard to go beyond that for a while and I am not one to be tiptoed around. Anyway we will see.

The bike is looking lovely though, the new yellow tape on the handle bar looking rather gorgeous I might rename her Rocinante; let's chase my ferocious giants.
