Ok I’ll admit it’s been a while since my last post. I have
been very busy, whoever said leaving teaching would be quiet must still be
doing the job. Last night I met with some former colleagues, from what they
told I’m so glad I’m out of it.
Which takes me onto why I have been so busy, in January I
finished my journalism course! Also, I have been published – both online and in
print. In May I even went to London to cover the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. What
an event that was, I never expected to meet so many famous people.
Now biking has been very mixed, the winter was awful and
doesn’t appear to be over yet. The number of cancelled rides due to bad weather
may have outnumbered the number I spent on the road. I’m no wimp when it comes
to riding in bad weather, but flooded roads are a different matter. On top of
this we’ve had family illness to contend with.
Then May was mad. One week in Mallorca where we watched the MALLORCA 312. I didn’t enter due to the technicalities of getting the bike there, but finding out there are really good hire shops near a
friend’s apartment may see next years event on the list. After Mallorca it was
off to Almeria, followed by Chelsea and then 5 days at Weston Park teaching water
sports to members of the Caravan and Motorhome Club.
I have completed one 100Km Audax so far this season. My next
one is the Rosliston Roller in Staffordshire. Last year I did the 100km
version, but this year I’m taking an old friend and cycling partner who is in
his 80s. Hence we opted for the shorter version.
I will be back with more news of how that went and plans for
the rest of the year very soon – promise!
