I just want to say thank you to those who have sponsored me already, it means a lot and the money is not wasted, as I WILL be doing the challenge albeit a year later.
And thank you so far to the people who are sponsoring the challenge, that is Streetlife Cycle shop owned by Alex in Norwich, Lowestoft and Sudbury, Browne & Sons Loddon Garage, and our own company CORE Vehicle Solutions in Loddon.
If you are interested in helping out with event sponsorship please call Neil (yes that is me, don't know why I wrote that!!) on 0774 770 3879!

New start and Physio
It has been a while since I have been on to do my blog! And it is 13 weeks since the injury!!!!!! I think the fact I did not want to write negative paragraphs is part of the reason.
I have started physio over the past 2 weeks, and currently having ultra sound done. Next visit is on Friday. The ankle is still swollen and sore, but at least I am back on the bike now and managed 3 short rides (10/12 miles) last week. It will be a long time before I am running again according to the physio! At least I am on the bike now.
Really need to buy some new cycling gear, but this will come in the next few weeks. A June holiday to look forward to in Spain............but I do need to shed a few pounds first. My weight is now near 13 stone and I ideally want to be eleven and a half to twelve maximum. So a bit of a goal there now. I must watch what I am eating and drinking and snacking on now to get back to fitness.
In the next few months I will be confirming a new date for the challenge and getting the promotional leaflets and posters sorted again. I feel so sorry that I cannot do the challenge this year but I would not do myself justice trying to get fit in such a short time.....in fact it will be near on impossible, especially with the pain in my ankle still and not being able to run.........fairplay it was a proper injury! Made a good job of it. Plus to attempt it this year now would not be fair on Tom, my brother, and brother in law too.
It is great to be back on the bike and training even if the first few times I am coughing my guts up due to poor fitness.
Right, now I am back in the writing mood I will try to keep this blog up to date with news.
