The Big Week

Gday all,

I just wanted to share a bit of a personal achievement. And given my technophobia prevents me from successfully blogging anything on TDC website (Posted By the COUGAR), I thought I’d share it with my closer riding pals. Also, this is not shared to brag (much!! J) but rather to say thanks to all of you.

Below is my weekly ride summary: (now Josh has clearly defined for us all that a week is Sunday to Saturday!)

Loey and Cougar on the front of the TDC Peleton

If you had told me last July that in April 07 I’d ride a treadly 553kms in a week BEFORE work, I would have laughed you out of the room. At drinks last night with Wendy from the Prostate Cancer foundation I was also able to point out I am now acutely aware of mine! Indeed, this rider now owns his first tub of chamois cream!. Minty fresh indeed!

So anyway, thanks to all of you for your encouragement, support, advice, sledging etc. and indeed everyone I drafted out there this week. Special thanks to the big man, Denver for being my reliable buddy the whole week from Monday too, and for essentially towing me around the entire Northern beaches. Not only does he set a great pace, but he butters toast and can massage out a knot in your shoulder in less than a minute! (he didn’t want that last fact made public lest a queue forms on the tour!)

So, could it finally be time to update my interests and hobbies on the Zoo website to include “cycling”!??



Cheers,
