Everything has to have a begining

Hi folks,

It is me again!!! (Now, now don't sigh. lol)

Now some of you might have read my travelling ramblings, and some might be new to me (lucky you!!!).

Since I have been travelling around Europe my whole outlook on life has changed. It has made me realise how lucky I am to have a steady job, a house and food, and all the things that most people take for granted. I now realise that the grass is not always greener on the other side.

To this end, next summer I am going to complete the coast to coast bike challenge, starting from Whitehaven and ending in Sunderland. The total distance is approximately 150 miles. Now just to make it more challenging I am going to try and do the challenge in two days. That is 75 miles on the first day, then stay in a B & B and then 75 miles to the end. And just so you all know I have not rode a bike since I was about 10. lol

I am hoping to raise at least £1000 for Cancer Research as my Nan died of Cancer several years ago.

So I have set this blog up to chart my training progress and how I am getting on.

Wish me good luck guys
