why

in 2009 with the loss of so many friends and mum,i decided that time had come to realise a dream,cycling end to end,but at near on 20 stone everyone thought i was crazy,a visit to the doctors had welcomed results with the advise not to diet ,take the training steady and eat a sensible heathy diet,and get regular checks with them from time to time,

out on the bike it was murder on my rear too much weight pressing down on such a small area,

the answer A RECUMBENT TRIKE ! and boy was it welcome.because i want to enjoy it 50 mile a day has been planned(20ish days)i have decided the only way i could afford it was to cycle camp,rough and ready but cheap

due to the length of the trip it will also be solo and un assisted,told you i was crazy

8 working days to go,13th looms yipee

well were has the last two and half years gone?seams a distant memory coming up with the idea of jogle.
Ive trained in sun, snow,rain and wind,up hill, down dale,three wheels two wheels,with trailer without trailer.and still i keep changing my mind.
with less than two weeks left iv just realised that there is only eight working days,one birthday(10th may).one fishing day if fit. and a party.so can safely say i don't have time left to alter anymore plans,they are now set in stone so to speak.
on a daily basis i regularly check facebook and blogs of other people doing end to end rides and at the moment there are two people out there Donne's jogle,and Vicky's jolly jogle that i watch and it only seams like yesterday that they were months away from their start and yet Donne's only two days from finishing and Vicky is well over halfway both cycling solo.I'm beginning to feel disappointed that their blogs will come to an end when they complete.I have come to enjoy logging on to them,pity i will never meet either especially Vicky who i think has done amazing and she has done it purely to raise money for other people.were as I'm doing it for my self with other people benefiting as I'm been sponsored,(if that makes sense good)
will people miss my blog?does anyone really read it?i know a couple do and i have 5 followers(thank you by the way)but with near on a thousand hits how many people actually return for another read or is it just five people visiting 200 times each.Donne's Friends think he should swim the channel next,Vicky will no doubt find something equally challenging,what will i do with my new found fitness suggestions on a post card please.
