Monday – 22nd June 2009

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.

Today I went two cycles the first one was to Stamford and back again. The second one was to Castle Bytham and back again. I did two cycles to get my bike computer to hit the 1000 mile mark. I so happy now. Now by the end of September I am going to aim to have it, up to at least 1,300 miles which should be easy to do.

I went a cycle to Langtoft, it’s the first that I have cycled there in my life. But I know that I will be doing the cycle a lot more, from now on. Because it’s the village that Matthew stays in. I did not tell Matthew that I was going to cycle to see him. He looking very happy to see me. When I got there, he was outside washing his car. I was there for about 30 minutes before I had to cycle back home to get ready for work.

Work was not 2 bad. But they did have very big problems with the printer on the till at the bar, meaning that we did not get any orders coming though the printer. So we had to go back to the old way of doing things, in other words, back to writing down things by hand. Things got so bad at one point we even had Richard, one of the people who owns the place, taking drinks down.

I was glad to get back home. I just hope that things get better on Saturday night.

Wednesday – 2rd July 2003

When I got up, I had a shower etc as normal. Then I cut the back grass. Then I walked the dog, I think she had forgetting what it’s like to be walked, it’s the first time that she has been a walk since Sunday with the weather being so bad.

Then in the afternoon I went a cycle to Stamford and back. I got there in record time. At times I was doing 30 Mph and that was going up hill.

Then at about 6:20pm Matthew come around. We sit in and listened to some MP3s. Before going into Peterborough, to meet up with some of his friends. We all went to Pizza Hut to get food, before going to the Showcase Cinemas in Peterborough. To see X-men 2. I really enjoyed the film. I now will need to get the first X-men on DVD, because I have ever seen it.

I would like to thank Matthew for one of the best evenings, that I have had in very long time. Oh and of course his friends 2.
