I'm still no closer to finalising a date to complete the Coast 2 Coast bike ride, but the most likely date is now early October. If the weather doesn't allow us, I'll reschedule for March/April 2013, when it is completed.
Not completing it is still both annoying and frustrating, especially as people had donated so generously, but it was beyond the control of humans to even finish the first day.
The other things is I'd planned it in to coincide with a week away in Cornwall, which was supposed to be recuperation time, but turned out to be another washout!
My summer is booked up with a number of key birthdays and this year, a wedding, stag do and a holiday abroad.
Neil and Pads, my fellow riders, are also block-booked with events and I may end up doing it on my own. Not the most exciting of thoughts, but at least I won't feel I'm slowing anyone up by going at my pace.
I've only been out on the bike once since the failed ride, due to events and the weather, but hopefully this weekend will be different.
The most exciting news I have is I'll soon have a child seat for the bike, so my two-year-old daughter can come with me on rides. Obviously they'll be gentle ones and not too fast!And before you ask, no I won't be taking her on the Coast 2 Coast!
Next time I'll bring you updates on how many rides I've had and if my planned new training regime is working!
