Melbourne Summer Cycle

Every year Melbourne has a bicycle marathon to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Charity.  It’s 40km which works out to be just shy of 25 miles, what have I let myself in for?  The last time I was on bike, was about 5 years ago with the chaps from Polymer Laboratories.  I had fallen so far behind that I got lost and took the wrong turn, ended up in a field full of cows and so exhausted that when I drank my water it all came rushing back out.  OK so I’m no fitter now than I was back then, but I will do this :)

I have until the 22nd February to get in shape.  I’m not that worried because it is a family event for all ages so I think we have about 5 hours to complete the course.  Accompanying me on this trek will be Asar who will have is work cut out for him motivating me.  Hopefully we can make some time and get some training session together.

If anyone would like to sponsor me and help the MS society follow is this link and click DONATE

    The other day I thought i’d make a little gadget for my bike to enable me to concentrate on my cycling but at the same time take some photographs of my route and the scenary. So I designed a little bracket that will mount my camera on to my handlebars.

    I tried it out today and it works a treat, so watch out for ‘bikecam’ photographs. Say cheese!

    Well he did it, and he didn’t even look tired! Think we need to get him on the ’round the bay’ ride. Better still, I should learn to ride and join him! Well done to Rum and Asar, never doubted them.
