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."

Action 100: Slow but steady progress

I failed spectacularly to do my ride to Oxford on Saturday, having woken up with a migraine, meaning I'll really need to work hard to get my next big ride in (currently planned for Sunday)

We still went over to our Oxford friends, Mr and Mrs 'Still-have-Confetti-in-my Hair' Withers, but I went as a passenger instead of by pedal power.

Have also had proof that blogging is bad for your marriage - I made a chance comment about hubbie suggesting I had caught the train to hungerford the other week, rather than genuinely cycling 36 miles. He took some ribbing for it, I'm in the dog house!!

Also made the surprise discovery that horse riding and cycling use similar muscles - at least the rise and fall for trotting seems to put the same pressure on knees and front of legs.

No rude jokes about riding please!
