I have just gone and ordered myself a new bike from the Edinburgh Bicycle Co-Operative. It’s set me back £549.99, so thank god for credit cards. Which means to say it off, I do at least 9 days of teaching First Aid Courses and not the spend the money on anything else! As long, as I have paid at least half of it off before going End to End cycle in August I will be happy. I can’t wait till I get it, all going well I will have it, before the end of next week. The bike I have gone for is the Marin Muirwoods 29ER ’09.

Today I got up at 6:00am. So that I would have time, to get showed, have some breakfast. Before Alex come around to give us both a lift to train station in Grantham to get the 7:25am National Express East Coast service to Edinburgh Waverley. Oh I guess, I should say why we went to Edinburgh, that’s because we were teaching First Aid Course, for Pizza Hut. The train got us into Edinburgh 11:09am, but the course did not start till 2pm. So we dropped the gear off at the Pizza Hut. Then went for a nice walk around Edinburgh. The weather was great, the best weather I have ever been to Edinburgh in. I think, it at least 24C if not hotter.
So to kill the 3 hours we had before the course started, we went looking for the Edinburgh Bicycle Co-Operative. I have got many things from them before, but only on-line. It’s the first time that I have been into their shop. I could not believe how big it was. Oh and thanks to Alex I have made up my mind, what new bike I am going to get for doing the End to End cycle. I am going to get a Marin Muirwoods 29ER ’09. It will need to wait, till I have paid off the car road TAX that is on my credit card.
Once done looking at all the great stuff at the Edinburgh Bicycle Co-Operative. It was back out into the sun to walk back to the Pizza Hut, to get some food. Then start the course, the course had just 7 people on it. I am glad it did not have any more. The room we were in, did not have any air-con, it was HOT to say the least!!! Everyone said the course was very good. Only bad comments we got was how hot the room was.
Once the course was done, it was back to the Edinburgh Waverley, to get the 7pm National Express East Coast service back to Grantham. I was so glad when I was back home and in bed.

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you will know that in August, Mike and myself are cycling from John O’Groats to Lands End, to raise money for the National Autistic Society. And were hoping to get some cycling jerseys made up for the cycle, with the End to End website URL on it and also the National Autistic Society logo. So I emailed the Peterborough Greyhound Stadium, the place that I would, if they know of anyone that could get them made up for us. Since the only place we have found wants £150 for two cycling jerseys. I could not believe it, when they said don’t worry about the cost we will pay for it. If you put out logo on it, and say “sponsored by”. So that made my day!!!
In other news. In the evening, I went out a 30 mile cycle. I was on fire, I did the cycle in 1 hour, 53 minutes, 50 seconds, with a average speed of 15.9 mph. It was the first time, that I have used my new PBK Team Long Sleeve Skinsuit 2009, that I got from Probikekit.com for £71.24. It’s so tight, I think it helped me to cycle faster then normal.

The main thing that I did today, was to go out a cycle with the love of my life Mike. We went a cycle from his house in Orton Malborne, to the Redwings Service Station, which is 10 miles down the old A1 from his house. So a 20 mile cycle in total, not the longest cycle in the world, but hey it’s better then nothing at all.
I now own a cage :)
No idea why really but I have always liked the idea of having my own cage. So well pleased that I now own one, so big thanks to my sexy boyfriend Mike for getting me one. Now I just need to get him to lock me in for the night 🙂

I was very happy when the post came. As I my Shimano M180 cycling shoes that I ordered from Chain Reaction Cycles only yesterday (Friday). They cost me £59.99, full price they would be £79.95, so I made a saving of 25%.
Then I got them out the box it take me a while, to work out how to open the bit where the yellow clips to get them on. I even looked at the manual. Yes they have a manual. I don’t think that I have ever had shoes before that have come with a manual.
Now I have them, I just have to think what pedals I am going to get for them.
Other then getting my new cycling shoes, it was a normal Saturday really. I of course chatted to my boyfriend Rob. And showed him my new shores, using my webcam. He thinks they look nice. He can’t wait to see me in them. And before you start, to worry Rob and myself don’t have a thing about shoes.
Then in the evening I was of course working at the Peterborough Greyhound Stadium. I had a very busy night indeed. Anyone would think it’s getting near to Christmas :). They sold 113 bottles of wine coming to £1,252.25. Which meant a very busy night for me, since I am the one who looks after the wine. If you ask me, it’s better being busy. Then having nothing at all to do. It makes the night go so much faster.
Once I got back from work I chatted to my boyfriend Rob for a while. Before going off-line to watched Casualty, that I had recorded while I was at work. It was of course very good indeed. As it normally is.
Then after that I tuned off my PC and laptop for the night and went to bed at about 2:00am.
I now own a straitjacket!
At long last my straitjacket that I ordered over 1 month ago turned up. I have always wanted to try one out. They are so much fun. Once Rob put me in it, there was no way at all, I could get back out of it.
So I guess you, will be wanted to know wanted it. Well I will mainly been using it for Wetsuitlads or maybe, if I am a bad boy. My boyfriend Rob will put me inside it!

Sunday – 6th June 2004
I got up at about 11:00am. I had a shower and played about on the Internet and watched UKTV Gold. It was far to hot during the mid afternoon to go out on my bike.
Once it had cooled down a bit. Mark and mself went out to take photos of myself wearing my new Orca speedsuit for my Wetsuitlads. So please go and check them out.
Then once back from taken the photos. I went a nice cycle to Tallington, on the way back I called in at Morrisons to get a drink to cool myself down and to chat to Matthew for a while.
Once back Mark, Sam and me walked with the dog to The Willoughby Arms to get food. Since it was so nice and warm we had the meal’s outside.
Once back home I sorted out all my Wetsuitlads photos, which took a good number of hours and spoke to my BF Rob on-line for a while.
