One For The Ladies !

Hi Guys,

Well after the other two have done my knees I feel it only appropriate to post my first blog and set the scene for the forthcoming 5 months !

I guess I have been invited along for this event by the guys because of my looks, charisma and media potential. Last year they had Lizzie (How many stories have i heard about that, slipstreaming, Lycra etc !) but this year they have me !

Now whilst they will eagerly tell you about mileage, gradients and all things technical that they have been doing, I have been doing some secret training myself, Often at weekends I heavily carbo load and prefer to vary my type of cardio exercise to suit the often varying terrain :) and I have to say I have been doing really quite well !

Got a turbo in the garage which I look at lovingly on my way out and have been cutting down on units and fags, although Chris's fond memories of Phil's efforts last year, smoking whilst riding do provide me with a different incentive, perhaps one Marlboro light per switchback would be a good target.

In all seriousness (ahem) It's good to be involved with the guys and now we have gone public with this it has given me some much neded motivation.

I do need a road bike (darkside) so if you can help me with colours and and reflectors then that would be appreciated.

This is going to be interesting !
