Hi Ann,

Sorry, I opened your text when I was really tired and forgot to reply, congrats on signing up for Jordan, I knew you'd do another one. Do you remember when we were cycling the greenway route and you weren't sure!!!! Sarah says she is going to be part of the fund raising support team, that sounds like a good idea.

Hi Angie, company now your thread will only get bigger. How's the fund raising coming along?

Donna

That's OK Donna. You've been doing such a lot I did look out for you  all at the weekend when I was out and about but didn't spot you. I did a shorter ride on Sunday, 14 miles  - first time in the saddle since April - and I'm still feeling it now! Did a talk to the local Rotary club yesterday about Cycle India and they kick started the Jordan fund raising with a nice donation so I feel as though I'm on my way!

Hi Angie,
I've signed up for Jordan and have just received all the paperwork. Am now wondering what I've done! Have about 5 stone to lose to get myself fit and thought this was as good a way as any to get motivated! Must be bonkers - but I'm strangely excited. Have started an online diary if you need a giggle - then you'll see what an amateur I really am! Hope to hear from you! Karen x

Hi everyone

There is a good ride on at Stratford on Avon on Sunday 7 September in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support. There are three routes of 25, 50 and 63 miles  as well as a family fun ride of just 10 miles. It costs £8 to enter in advance or £10 on the day. Carole and I will be doing the 25 mile route. Does anyone want to join us? See http://www.macride.org.uk/ for details

Hi Ann,
I'm signed up for the 3rd October. Just come in from a ride on my new bike. If you need a laugh go and read my online diary!

The Jordanites - does being one of them involve singing? Cos at the moment, I'm only just marginally better at singing than I am at biking! LOL!

    Hi Anne,

The web address for the MacRide is www.macride-site.org.uk:  the site address you gave doesn't work!  May join you - what time are you starting?  (if that's okay??)

Hi Stef, can't understand that, I am definitely going in on http://www.macride.org.uk/ I have cut and pasted the url. Anyway not to worry - we are aiming to get there around 9.30am. We have not registered in advance just in case it is really throwing it down. We'll text or email to fine tune the details. x

Karen - Love your blog, could do with your son as my trainer as well and Bertha sounds a beast. Not sure about the singing - wasn't that the Israelites???  x

Hi ladies,

I'm new to all this - first time on this forum & I am 99% sure I will be signing up to for Cycle Jordan - I really feel that I want to do it, challenge myself if you like - plus raising the money for a worthwhile charity into the bargain :)  I just have a few little doubts, particularly as I haven't ridden a bike in a large number of years & my hubby seems to think I am mad!

Can anyone give me reassurance about "my first time" ? I know I will have a lot of training to do.....


Have a giggle & follow my progress at http://ksmithcyclejordan.blogspot.com/

Hi Kirsti - Welcome.

Let me reassure you. This time last year I was building up to Cycle India. I was in my fifties, overweight, unfit and hadn't ridden a bike for years,  but I buckled down and with the help of some lovely ladies that I met through this forum I made it - raised the money and completed the bike ride and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Now I am planning to do it all again ... but this time in Jordan

I am still overweight but at least now I am reasonably fit altho I must admit I am a bit daunted by the thought of raising all that money again. All I can say its like eating the elephant - just do it a bite at a time. Set yourself goals for the training and the fundraising and it WILL all come together and you will have the most fantastic time and in such a good cause.
