Action 100 Cycle Ride

Having worked on the PR side alongside the volunteers who annually make the Action 100 charity cycle ride happen, Claire Thompson (otherwise known as Mrs Page) has committed to getting fit enough to ride in 2006 - its Silver Jubilee year. That's 100 miles from Bath to Chobham and it's going to hurt - lots! "This is my leap of faith and a public declaration that I'm doing the ride - without it, it would be way too easy to chicken out."

Back on line

So this wasn't the way I wanted to start a blog - with a two week gap in postings!

First off I spent a week trying to post a picture. Maybe I'm just being dim, but for the life of me I can't get the software to work. Worse still, every time I turn on the computer now a big sunny flower looms out at me saying 'Hello from Picasa', counting me down to log in time, apparently with my picture in its murky grasp (also now converted to a big blue flower, from what I can see).

It's some kind of sinister conspiracy I swear. The flower's just begging you to be cheery, but the more I look at it and can't persuade it to get off my screen, give up the photo and do as it promises (put the photo up on this blog), the more I want to tear it's petals off and put them somewhere nasty. (Is this blog rage?)

Anyway, having resigned myself to seeing the evil daisy daily, I shall find, eventually, a few minutes to call in some technical bod who will doubtless touch a single key and say 'All you have to do is...'

Meanwhile, the cycling's not progressing too fast either, although I have managed to shed a few pounds in anticipation (and they oh, so needed to go).

The tyres on the bike are now fixed, which is a fairly major step forwards. And this afternoon, kids and husband are lined up to witness my inaugural 'flight.'

If there's no posting here in the next day or so, you'll know it all went horribly wrong.

Now I'm off to have just one more go with the evil daisy.....
