WEIGHT: Still pretty heavy... but definitely shifting a few pounds!
KIT: Nearly fully kitted out... I am officially a MAMMAL... a middle aged man in Lycra!
RIDES: Have clocked up well over 200 miles in the last few weeks.... a quick 29 miles to Wooton Under Edge, with Mick Stoodley (it was quick for me but not for Mick!) and a not quite so quick 36 miles over the top of the Mendips to visit my brother in law in Glastonbury.... (fortunately Deb was there to give me a lift home!!)
FITNESS: Well getting there.... but still a way to go. I have my sister training with me this Friday, which is great... she is going Paris to London in 4 days... even madder than me I fear!
FUNDRAISING: Have raised over £1700 for the charities... so should be able to clear the £2000 target... thanks for anyone who has sponsored me or is still planning to. (Either give to me directly (preferably with gift aid details) or... use the two sites to give on the internet:

ACADEMIC: I have now passed my first essay which is a big relief... so now some more reading and I better get writing the second one!
