100 mile ride. All ready Mr B?

Looks like its going to be a stormy, wet, cold, damp ride tomorrow. I am all set, no matter how the British weather turns out to be, I am going do it and finish it in style. Its not everyday one gets to ride on closed roads. Good luck.

Gearing up for 100 miles

Its only 1 more day to go before my first 100 mile bike ride. The weather does not look too promising. Mini thunderstorm on the way. Well no matter how the British weather I am all going in and going to complete it. No matter what.

Here is a pic of the Box Hill from few weeks ago when I went for a 100km ride to Box hill amd Leith Hill.

My first Marathon run - 26.2 miles

Beautiful Moonrise Ever

I remember the spot. Just off the M4 in Wroughton. Yellow fields, 1 naked tree, oad leading upto a big orange full moon on a clear summer sky. No picture. I will have to go again on next full moon.

Just another Day..

So I took off from work as the pain from running the previous weekend was bad. Had fever and slept and worked on lappi all day. So in evening decided to go to viepoint and enjoy wine and music (Bryan Adams - The Best of Me). It was a great emotional evening I think I will remember for long. Spoke to my love and promised her to travel and spend the life with her.
