Well it had to happen sooner of later! Finally made it to the front page of the newspaper. Really have to thank the Lanark Gazette for the wonderful piece they wrote about me and Women V Cancer, and can't believe it made the front page!!! Anyway, that really inspired me, so when I was home last week I went for a wee 10 - 15 mile ride through the forestry, from Clatteringshaws Dam to Creetown, via Gatehouse Station. Well at least that's what I set out to do. Unfortunately, due to trying to take a photo of a buzzard that was flying just in front of me I missed a turning marker, missed the turn and ended up doing 30 miles!!! Yikes, got to Gatehouse of Fleet after 2 hours, phoned Dad to let him know I hadn't vanished of the face of the earth and eventually returned home 3 1/2 hours later! Not sure if that is good or bad time wise, but I'll tell you this, the Galloway Hills are well named!!! Anyway, next morning I was really surprised to find that I wasn't suffering any ill effects from my ride, bit of a sore bum, but nothing I couldn't handle, and have since re-adjusted my saddle.
Going to do lot more training now that I'm not so busy, see you all soon xxx
