And that ain’t no lie!

It took me an hour and a half to get home tonight – mostly because of the second Take That concert in two days but also because of a break down/ fire on the M4. A good job I had already decided not to go to the gym or out on the bike and only go for a sun bed instead!

The weather was something of a mixed bad anyway, nice sunshine by the end of the day but rain galore throughout which made the road wet and huge puddles everywhere and that was not something I wanted to be involved in! After my time on the tanning bed I am not quite brown but at least my skin is getting a bit weathered and should be able to stand a little bit more of the elements than it would otherwise!

Dave suggested that on Saturday we put the bikes in the car and go off and find somewhere to have a bit of a burn. (My words not his!) I think that if the weather is nice this could be a really nice thing to do! Getting ready for the great outdoors but as I say, I am only going if the weather is nice! I wonder if I could use this thought for the bike ride as a whole – I’m only going if the weather is nice!? Something to think about!

So, tonight – as long as there are no hold ups on the motorway, people dancing in the carriageway of the A470 or chickens dancing the birdie song on the Port Road I should be home at a reasonable time. Be able to get changed PDQ and get up to the gym by 5.30! (This would be cutting it very fine but there is always a slim chance!) The plan this evening is to do 50km/ 30 miles and be back by 4 for tea and buns with the chaps in the mess! (Or a cup of tea and a biscuit with my granddad as he’s not very well!) Will let chas know how I go tomorrow -

So, until the next time; take great care and don't forget our fundraising page www.justgiving.com/joandpenni
