This is all new to me!!

Hi there, this is my first attempt at a blog, but thought I'd keep you up to date with what's going on. As you all know I've embarked on some stupid challenge to cycle 300 miles from London to Paris!!!! Yes I know it's for an excellent cause 'Breast Cancer Care', but I still think it's stupid! I must've had a bang on the head!

Before I tell you how things are going, I'd like to publicly apologise to Emily for railroading her in to this. 'Sorry Frogspawn' (not really).

The training is going slowly, very slowly in fact, I can't seem to get motivated! I don't like going out on my own, it's lonely!! Ah bless I can hear you all say, or more like, just shut up and get on with it!! I've had some very strange looks from pedestrians as I pass by them 'singing' to my Mp3 player. Martin, bless him, said it would be a good idea to go out with a bin liner on! Lose more weight etc. Good idea, but I kept bumping in to things :O) Seriously though it was the most uncomfortable thing ever. Won't be doing that again.

The fundraising on the other hand is going really well! I've got £1,100 towards my minimum target of £1,500. This should, as the guys here at work keep saying, pay for a 1st class return ticket on the Eurostar and hotel!! They are convinced that I'm going by train with a fold away cycle and am going to disembark at the Gare du Nord and cycle to the Eiffel Tower!! I can assure you all that is not the case. It does sound tempting, but no, my bottom is going to feel the pain!

Anyway, thanks for reading my first attempt. I hope to keep you amused for some months to come!! 23 weeks & counting!!
