can't work out how to post a new topic so just adding it here....
anyone see the Daily Mail article about Fern ? my mum brought it down for me, it showed her pushing her bike uphill whilst out for a ride at the weekend !! Just a bit of inspiration hopefully for those of us who envisage ourselves doing the same thing in Cuba !!

Hi my name is kath and this is the first time of posting, myself and two friends live in Spain and we are cycling across Cuba for Women for Women from 5th March 2009. I would like to know of any other ladies who are going at this time, and how the training is going.

Lots and lots of positve get well vibes from me. Hope you get good results on Thursday and that the anti biotics have kicked in. You WILL be on that plane to Cuba. Sorry that I have not sent this message before but only just looked at the forum today.
KEEP POSITIVE
Love Deena

Hi Kath
I am going on the 5th March Cuba ride. Training I thought had been going quite well until I went on the training weekend in the Cotswold!!! I am fine on the flat!!! The Cotswolds had a fair few hills, which I have to admit to getting off and walking up.....!! How is your training going??
Take care

Hi Kath and sorry I forgot the other ladies name at the top of the thread, but welcome.....
There are some other ladies that are travelling out to Cuba in March, they have a link think its called Cuba 09 - set up by Sarah B, all the ladies on there are lovely. Your coming along way from Spain, at least you have nice weather to train in.

well girls
must say i'm 'so in love with my hubby' at the mo. I should be ill more often or should i be wondering why he's so desperate to have me away for 10 days!!!!!! ha ha
He was up early sorting the kids breakfasts and mine, getting them ready for school, has taken them to school/mother-in-laws and is collecting them too. Whilst leaving me strict instructions to only leave the sofa for coffee or food and made me a lovely fire before he left.
I could get used to this!!!!!!
Anyway relaxing, chilling out. I'm sure you lot are training or something - would i rather be in the rain training or on the sofa mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Post tomorrow re results - everything crossed.

Hi Girls
Just caught up with all the posts. Hope all goes well tomorrow Sarah and you have started to feel a bit better with all the pampering.
Going back to conversation of cake. I had thought about the idea of fairy cakes but i find they are not as moist as a big one and this new recipe i want to try out on you i am not sure about. I will spend weekend trying out different ideas including fairy cakes. Oh dear lots of testers for me to eat HEHEHE.
I have done a shortish ride today but i gave blood near the end of it. No ididn't have funny turn and just decide. I arranged cycle around my appointment. After blood donation i only had 5 miles to do as it was at the hospital and it is easy and flattish to mine. God did i feel the difference and my pulse rate was a lot higher.
Anyone going to fireworks tonight? Me and Iain are off to one on Plymouth Hoe should be good.
Amanda

Hey ... how's everyone? Getting so nervous! Not had time at all to get out on the bike this week what with one thing or another! Now getting nauseous and excited at the same time! Will be glad when my mum arrives on Monday afternoon to stay until I get back. Will be so helpful to have some direct support for the last couple of days... she is a lot more organised than I am so will be great help in getting my bags sorted... and the house! LOL
Still looking to be moving within a week or 2 of getting back so will be a great help having her around to sort through stuff and start some packing... her suggestion not my assumption ![Smile [:)]](/emoticons/emotion-1.gif)
Where is Elaine, Dor & Von? Haven't heard from you for ages...
Well this time next week we'll all be waiting in Paris for our connecting flight to Havana... no turning back then
Good luck today Sarah B on a positive result... your hubby is a star .. nothing like a good bit of TLC to drive the bugs away
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MAVIS FOR TODAY ... ![Party!!! [<:o)]](/emoticons/emotion-19.gif) ![Cake [^]](/emoticons/emotion-49.gif) ![Gift [G]](/emoticons/emotion-51.gif) >>> facebook is great for not missing birthdays

Sarah B, I really really am keeping my fingers crossed that you are able to join the lovely ladies next week.
You have been commited from the beginning and you have not let your training slip. I have my fingers crossed for you.
I recall our trip to London and the decision you had to make about changing group, it would be unthinkable for you not to join them now.. I wish you all the very best

Thanks for message lorraine. Nice of you to think of me.
my results are still not back BUT on a positive not i must admit i don't feel too bad today - yes i have another day of relaxation. I've not touched the bits i've been buying since i got ill but i sat in the spare room today having little peaks in the bags and got really EXCITED.........infact i don't want to tempt fate but and i know i've said this before BUT i'm actually thinking (excuse my language) F**K it i'm going. I'm getting bored of friends telling me its not worth it look after your health - what happens if this if that. Whats the worse that could happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway they told me to ring at nine tomorrow so..............................
Happy Birthday Mavis - i hope your on the mend now.
