Hey folks,

Well the time is quickly approaching..  Am I nervous? hell no – bring it on I say!!

Due to other commitments and rain I haven’t been cycling much but been to the gym a few times since my last post but it got boring putting those statistics up.

Today (Thursday 29 May) I thought I would cycle to my work place – that A4 is dangerous, the lorries/cars drive really close hardly leaving any room.  Managed to get there in 45 mins (12miles).  On the way back I was unfortunate and got a puncture in my rear wheel, luckily was going slow otherwise could of been a pretty nasty accident if the wheel/rubber slipped while turning.

Tried using the puncture repair kit but it wasnt working so gave up and replaced the tube.  I suppose this is a learning lesson to go and purchase extra inner tubes for the big event it self.

Total distance was around 25 miles, in  1:30hrs.  Max speed 28.2 mph with and average speed of around 15mph.  Total calaories burned 1335, Avg HR 128, Max HR 165.

The fund raising side has gone flat, not sure if still should chase people but I do wish to say a big thank you to everyone who has sponsored me to date – it is all very much appreciated.
