Someone recently pointed out that Paris to Geneva is half a million metres. I was feeling OK about 330 miles, but 500,000 metres somehow puts it into context. Surley that is worth sponsorship?
This week has been very busy. The whole week has been taken up with meetings at the Gospel Hall (where we are members here in Bournemouth) and so there has been no time for riding. This has been a much needed time of refeshment following a particularly hectic time at work. We all need these times when life seems to be lived at such a fast pace. It has been good to have my Dad around for the week, as well.
I'm now looking forward to getting back down to training again. To break back in gently, there was an easy 32 miler today - the usual route to Sandbanks and then Hegistbury Head via Boscombe pier twice. Happily there are no ill effects despite trying to push it a bit. Well, if there is someone in front on the hill up from Sandbanks, you have to try to catch them, don't you? (And I did.) As long as the weather is reasonably kind, the plan is to get a longer one on Monday or Tuesday.
It is also time to start asking properly for sponsorship. Thank you for all the support that you have given so far. But I shall start chasing soon. On the facebook pages, there are more reports of tragic stories. I want to be able to raise as much as possible for research. MND is a horrible condition and if we can contribute to finding ways of preventing it, this has to be for the good.
