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."

V. Bridget Jones

At risk of sounding v. Bridget Jones:

Monday:
Time on cycling machine: 6 mins - sprint
Calories burned: unsure - readout on blink
Distance travelled: ditto
Small child in trouble for inappropriate use incidents: 3

Tuesday
Time on cycling machine: 15 mins - sprint
Calories burned: unsure - readout on blink
Distance travelled: ditto
Small child in trouble for inappropriate use incidents: 5
Pain from previous days efforts: slight awareness of leg muscles - nothing too bad - am I doing it wrong?

Wednesday
Time on cycling machine: None (sorry)
Calories burned: ditto
Distance travelled: ditto
Small child in trouble for inappropriate use incidents: Don't know - father was looking after them whilst mum went out for drinks.
Pain from previous days efforts: Still nothing. In fact slight exercise-induced euphoria. Still I guess 15 mins is nothing to write home about. On the other hand, haven't been on a bike for the best part of 20 years, so it's a small personal victory.

Thursday
Time on cycling machine: Planned for this evening
Calories burned: TBA
Distance travelled: ditto
Small child in trouble for inappropriate use incidents: None - in fact littlest infant was using machine amazingly well, showing off to Grandad when I left this morning.
Pain from previous days efforts: Nothing from the exercise. Headache from drinking on empty stomach.

Nice piece in Bristol Evening Post about fellow rider, Grant Crawley, yesterday.
