A week of anticipation

First ride after 2 weeks sidelined. Knee feels better but won't really know until the morning. The bike was a dream to ride, although I could tell that the last two weeks coughing and splattering had an effect on leg strength. Happy with the 55 miles completed which included a nice long climb up past Stanway. Forgot about the clock change and happy that there are two little girls who still wake up around 7.30! How did they know! Was good to start wearing the shorts and dispose of the winter gear! This week brings some exciting times, I hope! Firstly I should break the £1000 mark in sponsorship. Really chuffed with what's been raised so far but conscious that still 5 weeks to go and more still to be raised. Hard to compete with the legend that is John Bishop & Sport Relief! Secondly a photo shoot with Lawrence Dallaglio on Wednesday. Think I'll be looking up! Finally a training ride on Saturday with Freddie Flintoff. Wonder what he's like & how comfortable he's feeling on the bike! Certainly a week to look forward to.....can't wait! Http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/robertnewrick
