What a great week. The netball raffle, House of Commons whisky and Tescos have already been mentioned in earlier posts but that is not all that has happened this week. On top of that, Tyler Brothers, a Kirkby engineering firm, kindly donated a bottle of whisky. Thank you to them for their generosity.Then there was the travel pack kindly donated by East Midlands Airport. This includes a travel bag, clock, passport holders, key ring and pen. Lovely prize, thank you East Midlands.
Another surprise was a great donation from GMTV. They have kindly donated a pack that includes 10 signed photos of the GMTV team, which includes Andrew Castle, Kate Galloway, Penny Smith etc. Also the pack includes a GMTV mug, alarm clock and egg cup. I might give GMTV a ring and see if they mind me auctioning this donation on eBay as I think it might make £20 - £30. I will let you know if I do and keep you informed on the bidding. Thank you GMTV.
After all the excitement of the donations coming in there was also the small business of training! My target for the week was 130 miles and I kept to this by managing to clock up 137 miles. The weekend target was a ride of 50 miles. Set off on Saturday afternoon not really knowing where to go, ended up cycling to Tuxford and back, completing 50 miles (actually 49.3 but don't tell anyone!).
This weeks target is 150 miles. Sunday I need to do a distance of 60 miles which will be tough as Saturday is the fund raising night! Other good news this week is that I have finally starting sleeping again....Zzzzzzzzzzz....good night!
