I have issues!

I have been prompted to post an update thanks to my wonderful Godmother (thanks Aunt Ann). It's been a frustrating couple or three weeks. I have not been able to stick to any sort of routine with my training...no excuses will do. However the main issue for me at the moment is a sore back. I don't know what I have done and I don't know what to do. It has put me off riding for a couple of weeks but I have added incentive to get back on the bike.

Our moonride team has gone CO-ED! Here was me thinking my first experience of the 24 hour moonride would be with an awesome bunch of girls who just wanted to "give it a go!" Our time or number of laps wouldn't be that important...what would be most important is to have a great time together and to say..wow we did it (whatever it is). However plans have changed and Sue and I are now the only representatives for the girls. Suddenly lap times and quantity feels somehow more important. This of course could be fueled by Marks various tweets on his rides, the mathematics of a 50 lap race etc. No pressure aye Mark!

I am off to Australia on Thursday for a week to do some speaking at a couple of youth events. I contemplated taking my bike but with no bag for protection I decided against it. So the running shoes will have to do and perhaps the bike can come with me to Easter Camp. Whatever happens April must be the month of biking first, driving second (except when it comes to grocery shopping. That's too tough trying to balance the shopping bags on the handle bars).
