Chuffed

So the fund raising video is published, and I’m chuffed to see that real donations are coming in. There’s no going back, I have to do the ride now! Despite the lousy weather forecast, I feel honour bound to do some training. A quick trip up Camillien Houde, hopefully avoiding the rain showers, is on the agenda. The support and donations spur me on. Despite the spitting rain we start the climb up the hill.

About a third of the way up the hill, Stuart mutters something about heading off to do a couple of laps round the mountain and meeting me at the top. I don’t really hear what he is saying, I’m in the zone. Not quite sure which zone, probably the wet and cranky one. I raise my head to see him heading off up the hill, with my rain jacket in his pannier. I return to my zone, slightly wetter and definitely crankier.

However, my motivation and cleats carry me to the top of the mountain – without stopping!! This is the first time I feel any sense of progress in my training.
