I havent looked at the website for a while now. I have just noticed that we now have a photo website linked to ours showing our "looks" at various different stages of training.
Have you seen the one entitled "our first ride?" Who is that moron on the right hand side of the picture? Why didnt someone tell me to take off my hat when that photo was taken!!??!!
Training is going OK. I have now started cycling to work and have had to endure all of my work collegues laughing at my lycra!!
I must say that I have really enjoyed cycling to work, particularly when on earlies. At 0430 in a morning, there is nobody around and its really peaceful, that is until you are cycling around Normanton bypass, hear a rustling amongst the grass at the other side of the road, look over and discover a Pitbull bounding towards you with a look in its eye that said "KILL". The old guy that the dog was with was whistling at it like it was some sort of Poodle and was shouting some stupid name like "Mitzy" at it!! Matt was telling me the other day how tough it was cycling through Ilkley, but im sorry guys, until you have been chased by a Pitbull, you dont know what HARD CYCLING is!!!
Anyway, I managed to survive the Pitbull that morning, only to get to the bottom of Pineapple Hill, exhausted, only to hear a car coming up behind me. It passed, very slowly, and my ever so supportive collegue Libby drove past, laughing and pointing at me. Thanks!!! It was one of those looks that you would give when you see something very odd happening at the side of the road and follow it with your eyes and head from full right lock to full left lock!!
Have lots of rides coming up. Doing a shortish one this weekend with Matt, but I have planned that I am going to do 120 miles very very soon to Scarborough and back.
Cant wait!!
