Still no update on the actual bike, but it is OK because there are 160 days until I actually leave, so I have time!
How do I know it is 160 days you might ask... well maybe, just maybe I took a leaf out of Hugh's book and created a model. But don't tell anyone!!
Yesterday I rode stage 1 of the TdF. Well not the whole thing obviously!! 18km is too much to fit into my very busy schedule. Well OK, while my schedule is indeed very busy the fact is that I could not ride 18km.
BUT I rode 7km in 20 minutes. That is an average speed of 21kmph. AND that is the best I have achieved so far. So hooray for me! And I didn't even have to have a lie down afterwards, so I think that is really great progress and should be celebrated! Maybe with some Bollinger, or maybe Verve!! Mmmmmm. Must go see what is in the fridge!
BTW, I don't need people pointing out the rather large difference between 7km and 86km. My wonderful boys have already done that so I am quite on top of the whole thing! Bless them. But they cheered me on yesterday, so some of the credit for my progress must lie with them.
Thanks to all my wonderful friends who are giving me encouragement and enjoying my posts! Who knew this journey would be so much fun!!
Until next time...
