Well only 2 more sleeps before Race day and I am nervous now! The road cycle is polished up and snug in its stable having only the best racehorse food money can buy.
Wow thanks everyone, as of today there is $1300 in the kitty which has well surpassed the $500 mark I hoped we might reach. As Mum said to me I am now earning $10 with every km I ride so I'll keep that in mind with every downward stroke of my cranks on Saturday!
I was speaking to a staff member from the Napier Women's Refuge and she told me how delighted they are for the fundraiser. It always gives them a boost when someone does a fundraiser as it reminds them that people in the community do care about their service.
Yes indeed the community does care Team Refuge for everyone I have talked to keeps telling me what a worthy cause to support. Keep up the good work, for the community is certainly grateful to you for providing the important service that you do (:
Attached is a picture I took out on a training ride on the weekend looking towards the Kaweka ranges inland from Napier. What a fabulous, peaceful landscape to ride through. There aren't too many of those on the planet so hooray for NZ!
cheers all, I'll report back after the race now....
