Over the hill

Went for a quick bike ride up the hill past Hastoe and right the back of Wigo - VERY hard going through the woods....the track was 6 inches deep with mud!!

Got back just before the rain. According to SportsDo I burned 1912 calories. Hmmm - not entirely convinced about that.

I was invited recently to make a presentation on my experience as a crew member on Team Samsung's boat in the 2005 Round Britain and Ireland Challenge offshore yacht race.

The strange movements of the fates!

Only just last week I clearly recall looking at Flickr's blog and thinking "it would be great to have one of my photos featured on this - but that's not likley to happen!".

I'm pretty chuffed about that.
Now.....if I could just be equally sure that I'm not likley to win the lottery!!
