I am told that all cyclists come off at some time in the journey that is cycling; I did so on Friday evening as I made my way home from work. Wet roads and a sharp turn don't mix too well and my bike clipped the kerb. I went into and over the handlebars and chinned a Give Way sign thus discovering that they don't. The small scar on my chin gives no indication of the rugby ball sized bruise to my abdomen! Thankfully no damage to my Cannondale Synapse.
It didn't put me off going out with the Bigfoot cyclists on Saturday, the first venture on the recently purchased Specialized Roubaix Expert. Did 46 miles into the wealds of Kent. My first impression was that the seat will have to be changed. The seat supplied with the bike was no thicker than a biscuit! That aside the bike rode like a dream. Graham Cheeseman, Andy Colvin and I will be out with them again this Saturday. If anyone is interested in coming along we meet outside the church in Hayes, Kent at 8.15.
It is great to see the sponsorship fund is increasing day by day. A couple of the team have almost hit the £1000 mark already. Now that the website is up and running and we have a real "presence" it should make it easier for everyone to seek out those sponsors. With 10 weeks to go there is some work to be done to reach the target of £40K.
Good luck
Mike
