I've got a new hobby!

I've got a new hobby - bike collecting! They're like buses. You don't see one for 30 years and then 2 come along at once! My wife bought me this one for Valentines day. What is she trying to tell me?

Anyway, it's a Specialized Secteur and I've been out on it a couple of times over the weekend. I thought it would be so much easier cycling on a road bike, but, Michael, think again!

Did 23 miles yesterday (new personal record) and 33 miles today (new personal record). Can't believe how hard it was. 90 miles on the Big Boss Bike Ride looks pretty daunting from here!

Please don't forget why I'm doing this bike ride. It's not to get me fit, although that's a good reason. It's not because I want a blog, although that's proving to be a bit of fun. It's to raise money for a very important cause - Children's Hospices UK. Please visit my JustGiving website and give as much as you can: http://www.justgiving.com/phoenixbikeride

Thanks!
