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."

Action100: On Cycling, Songs, and Bananas

So here we are. After the weekends cycle I no longer feel like I have a cattle prod up my back and my body seems to have settled back into (sub) normality.

I believe that - thanks to all this exercise - the saddlebags on my hips are shrinking, although this may, of course, be beer goggles (taken purely for curative reasons, of course)

Apropos of nothing much, while I was cycling through the cramp, I came up with a few songs for the situation:
Novocaine for the Soul
Give me Something for the Pain
The Drugs Don't Work

Suicide is Painless made a brief appearance too!

Anyway, you are hereby invited to contribute!

And last but not least, we put out a call for the charity regarding banana blight. It transpires that the shop that had refused us the bananas had actually run out of their charity budget and this was purely an excuse - how to kill a cracking summer PR story in one hit (although with today's events at airports with security checks thanks to terrorist threats, I doubt we'd have made the front page anyway)

So thanks to AgroFair we will now have bananas for riders - and thanks to the Bath Chronicle's call round, some Bath supermarkets have also come up wuth the goodies!
