Killers weekend, it's begun

Image
On my own this time. The weather is awesome, 21c. It will be a bit different this year. I see a business tomorrow, will it be the one that brings us to the island? It feels strange, I am missing Michelle already, I'm not even off the main land either. Very strange as maximus would say. Terence is missing... pBullox Mobile

I know it's been a while but life goes on

Wow... What a year again! Lots doing... Our showing of the Age of Stupid went well on Saturday, a few councillors came to see it along with the Mayor; She seemed really impressed and left with the opinion we need to do something about the dilemma we're ALL in about climate change. Next on the Agenda for Thatcham Good Life is the 'Greening Thatcham' campaign. This is were we intend to engage the whole town - all 9000 of us to do something to lower their own CO2 emissions. It need not be something expensive but just something... Having an awareness and the impetuous to start changing things is the beginning... ...maybe building wind power on Greenham Common is the next step... STOP! Sooo controversial... Anyways - Next is the Hills Killer... This year without Terry, him and Samantha are expecting their new baby at the same time. What will be great will be if I get a text near the finish line with him telling me the baby is here... Happ...

At V

V Festival was cool. I had VIP passes from work, what that actually means is I got to go in a fenced off area away from the festival to use a cash bar. That's it! Nothing more nothing less. The VIP was a bit of a let down but the rest of the fest was ace. Really good day out in the Mids. It was sunny and I got my top off. Spending time with Michelle away from the kids was a treat, we usually do things seperate- correction! I usually do. Cycling, weekenders, Island, and Church takes me out of the way all the time and Michelle puts up with it... I can't think why; maybe she loves me... No maybe, I know she does :-) Bless her.. x.x.

South Downs done

South Downs done for another year, didn't raise as much cash this year but did finish in a faster time. The day was really good- started early, up at five and started the ride at 6:30ish. It was a really warm day, even at that time of the morning. Moving along the course it all seemed quite new. Last year a couple of guys helped me do the course, they gave me drinks and food and the encouragement I needed:-) This year it was my turn to help, about 2 miles in a guy snapped his chain; that was it his ride was over because he had no way of sorting it. As I went passed I asked if he was OK to which he said yes. About 100 metres on I looked back and he was still looking lost. I went back and fixed his chain and gave him a lazy link. Saw him through out and beat him to the finish. Happy Days. One accident during the day... I was going down THE big fast hill into Queen Elizabeth park, I cycled wide of a walker straight into the path of a second. It happened really quickly. It was him or t...
