Ohhhhhh....what a bad day....I just couldn't get it together this morning at all..
Arranged to meet ''TJ'' at 8am so cycled to work on the Ferrari to pick up the V10 (which was serviced, new saddle put on etc on Thursday)
Less than 5 mins on it and I had a blow out....like HELLO!!!
Again I ask 'WHAT IS IT WITH ME AND TYRES?!!!!'
How annoying! Luckly I wasn't far from the office so nipped back (obviously on foot) to pick up the Ferrari..
Off we set..
Have you ever had a day when you just HATE cycling....I hated every single solitary minute of it...I mean it... I nearly lost it on Mont Hurel...seriously...
And to top it all off...only did 45k instead of 60..
Clearly I am having a bad day!
Off for a lovely lovely lunch at ''BFJA's'' which will make the world a much brighter place again....

I admire intelligence, compassion, good manners, good sense of humour, good conversation, like having my feet tickled, cycling, music, chocolate and the sea.

Day 1 - Saturday 10th February 2007
Today is the first day of my countdown to my Cycle Vietnam challenge in November. Today I have: a. set up a fund raising page at http://www.justgiving.com/siobhanmartina b. set up this blog to track my training progress and no doubt many frustrations; and c. started my training. It has to be said that I'm feeling a tad righteous! In saying that I feel that I have to mention that my training took place on my exercise bike at home....come on!!...it's far too cold and wet for the real thing! I'm looking at about April for that!!! I've set myself a goal of doing at least 1 hour on the bike every day and have had the most wonderful idea of how to get over the tedium of getting nowhere slowly! Yes... I'm going to watch the whole series of 'The Sopranos'....series 1-6 in fact! When I've finished these I'll then move onto '24' ...again...every series available on DVD. But panic not my sweets, amongst all this toil, I will also be going to the gym....I'll be the one with the very pink cheeks at Fitness First! How come some girls look great exercising and some look like...well....me?! My stats on the bike for today were: RPM - 72 / SPEED - 28 / TIME - 60 mins / DISTANCE - 26.48 / CALORIES - 599 ( = 1 Mint Aero & 1 Ripple!) But as the old saying goes, 'The best laid plans of mice and Siobhans' or as my lovely Mother would say, 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions!'. Till next time...
