Finally managed to complete my Tay swim last night (30th Aug 2010). With the other YeABBA swimmers I took part in the bridge to bridge race and completed the 1.2miles in 30mins. Doesn’t sound all that long but its very cold, trust me!

Thank you to all who sponsored me and feel free to check out my pictures that Leanne took. Pictures from the swim.

Very impressive talk from Mark Beaumont last night at Dundee University about his achievements so far. Currently he holds the world record for cycling around the world in the fastest time of 194 days 17 hours. His next challenge was to cycle the Americas from Anchorage, Alaska to Ushuaia in Southern Argentina and also climb the 2 highest peaks between – which he completed! So you can imagine he has some stories and experiences to share. Great talk!

We had a fab time in ayrshire loudoun castle Luke was so excited and had great fun with the animals and the fun rides. Pictures to follow.

Completed the etape caledonia this year however had some bike trouble so did not improve on my time from last year which is a pitty. My wheel kept falling off everytime I got out of the saddle to climb hills – not good! So I will definately be buying a new bike for next! Aready registered for etape 2011 – cant wait.

Its that time of year again and I will be jumping on my bike to take part in the fantastic but tough event. I cant wait again it seems I have done very little training lets hope my time doesn’t reflect this and I improve my time – anything under 4 hours will be nice. See photos soon from etape 2010 caledonia.
