More Prizes....More Miles!


Prize draw day is getting closer (Saturday evening to be precise!) and donations are still coming in. Our friend Joyce told Stephen, owner of Stephen John Hairstyling, about the charity event and to help the hospice he has kindly donated a cut and blow dry worth £17.95 as a prize for the draw. Absolutely fantastic, thank you Steve, it is very very much appreciated. Thank you Joyce for spreading the word!

I would also like to pass on my thanks and appreciation to Mrs Renshaw, who has donated a bottle of whisky and Christine who has donated a bottle of Port. Two more great prizes, what a brill draw this is turning out to be! If you want to have a chance of winning one of the wide selection of great prizes and at the same time, help and assist the hospice in providing care for the people who really do need it, then you only have a few more days to purchase a ticket!

After last weekends marathon of a bike ride, I decided to take it easier this week and recuperate. I took it TOO EASY! Three out of five days I did not do any....terrible....were did the commitment go? To punish myself I decided to double my intended efforts at the weekend. On Saturday I rode into Derbyshire and snaked my way to Kedleston Hall where I met up with Jackie and Jemma....40 miles (planned)! This was a tough ride as some of the hills nearly matched the one at Crich....phew....hard work!


Then on Sunday I biked up to Clumber Park and looped back round via Broughton, Eakring and Wellow....50 miles (unplanned). A lot flatter than the previous day but boy....did I get wet!

My original plan was to do 100 miles in the week but I ended up doing 122...that will teach me for slacking off!
