The Magic 20 Miles

Como esta amigos!

What a week its been!

Things are really starting to move here; in the world of 'Push Iron Power'

First off, Sunday saw us complete a ride of some 20 miles. Yes that's right 20 miles, the most we've achieved since kicking off training 3 weeks ago. I know 20 miles might not seem a lot to some, but to 2 unhealthy thirty-somethings who think that Sundays are for lying in bed eating cold pizza its somewhat unimaginable. In-fact, even as i write this, i can feel my bikers-arse starting to flare up... (at least i think its bikers arse....maybe a story better suited for another time)

Personnally, now that we've hit the 20 mile mark, i feel its all down hill from here on in, i mean, once you've conquered 20 miles, how hard can 244 miles be???

Laughs aside, i think the next challenge will be the 'Push Iron Power - St Helens to Southport Dash', which will allow us the opportunity to call in and see Stuart 'Yeah, lets see 'em both' Morgan. Those who will be accompanying us on the ride from London to Paris will no doubt get to meet Stuart as he is head of the Push Iron Power Paris Welcoming Committee, though rather than cycle the 244 miles, to Paris, i think he's decided to take a flight.

Of course, as we all know, this journey we've embarked upon is not just about cycling and sore arses, its about raising money for a cause we both believe in, and as you will be able to see from our 'Just Giving' web page the money is starting to roll in - albeit, a bit slow for my liking. However, on a high note, a big thanks to Dave Dicko at Protech Supplies for the hugely generous £1 a mile sponsorship, ( thats a cool £244.00 ) which has now pushed the total sponsorship to over £500 in 3 weeks. Thanks Dave, its much appreciated.

Anyway, i hope you enjoyed this update from Push Iron Power, if not, please feel free to go and read someone else's.

Till next time.....
