Two ride updates

Well, I have been busy!
Since joining the gym two weeks ago, I have now tried a variety of classes and have settled on Body Combat and Body Balance on a Monday. I've tried Body Jam on a Thursday but wasn't too keen so think I'll give Body Attack a go next week and that might become a regular! Loving the classes though, they're so full of energy and I think it's good to do something other than spin the legs, so to speak.
My friend Alex and I went out for a ride on Sunday 15th Feb. We wanted to get over the 20 mile mark so set off towards Tring Garden Centre just after lunch time. We made it there without too many problems and only one large hill. After a lovely cup of tea, headed round to Tring and up through the high street before heading back down, through the rain, and into Aylesbury. Total mileage - 23!!
I decided on Monday of this week to take a day off work today to go for a ride. I set off at half 9 and made my way through a few villages - Quainton, Gransborough, Cublington and Weedon - before finally getting home after 37 miles. This is the furthest I've been so far and as I only got home an hour ago, so far I'm feeling ok! We shall see what later brings.
There's also been a couple of rides to work, so all in all I'm quite active at the moment.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE head to the link below and sponsor me. Anything you can spare at the moment would be gratefully received. Thanks xxxxxxxxxx

Hi Lesley, youll soon be eating the miles!

Seen your Forum question re funds, I would try not to worry - this takes your positive engery, just dont be scared to ask, take your Sponsor Form everywhere, even a pound helps. Last time I undertook fundraising I sent out a letter with a tube of Smarties, asked the "victim" enjoy the sweets and asked them to return the tube full of money! anything little like that and it all adds up. My work have been kind enough to let me add the Sinai Logo and a link to the blog on my work e-mails which is working ok maybe you could try that, or if you dont send mails at work ask someone that does if they would "advertise" your efforts on their mails?

best of luck
