More training!

Went out to the country this weekend and rode all over Gloucestershire. Love the Cotswolds, the weather was fantastic too and managed to sneak in a couple old man's ales between miles, so all smiles this end. Apart from the discomfort from, well, this end. After I trashed my saddle in Cuba I did pick up a new one which has been awesome, but after 40miles or so its inevitable that you'll ache. Getting on the next day is always fun, haha.

Kinda developed my British tan too. Everyone I bumped into today has asked if ive been travelling... Very funny, very strawberry blonde and pink too, haha :/

Lots to do this week, im out to Eretz (the holy land) on Saturday and I cannot wait! Got a long check list of places to hit, but ill only have about 6 days free out of 3 weeks, so we'll see how much I really manage to do. I think first on the list is the kotel, but its so hard to decide whats more important :)

Anyway, thats all for now, lots to get on with. Mx

I'm not doing so well with this daily updating business. Mind you, that just means a bigger random update right now.

Had a mini break in NY and got lots of snaps. Didn't work out once, apart from the drinking... But hurting myself a lot now to make up for it. My friend Kristin in over from San Francisco and wants to see the sights every day (like, 10miles of walking London) and Kevin is over from Malibu and enjoys the morning cycle (15-20miles before work), so between them im exhausted. But I love it, haha.

So Kristin is here for another week and the following week im in Israel, for 3 weeks! Weho! Party Time. Ill be doing a volunteer program called Sar El where they stick me on a Kibbutz or IDF base for a few weeks to take some pressure off reservists. Following that I have a cycle through Israel in September, from the north to south over 3 days covering 120miles a day. Sheesh... If that doesn't get me ready for Peru, I don't know what will...!

Ralph Wiggum is more my cup of tea

Just finished a shoot at a rather classy affair of a place in Mayfair. The new Ralph Lauren girl was there and I just cant see what the big deal is with this boy-girl look. Girls who are boys and all that. Still, works up as much sweat as being at the gym, so I feel a little closer to Peru ;)

Packing: Essentials

I'll get bored of this blogging before you know it...

Nice little blog here by Innocent, the smoothie guys. For my reference as much as yours :)

Widgets ahoy!

Its go time.

So the fundraising page is set up and rolling in some support already: Cuss In Peru. Which is great news. My training has been stepped up and im about a month into a more specific regiment. Only thing is I haven't been out on my bike since November!?... Not that I didn't/don't want to, but my last sponsored ride across Cuba left me a little battered and seat-less, which i'm still yet to replace.

I saw a seat that was pretty groovy and nasi-like over at the Condor site but they've just changed their site and im too lazy to walk the 1.3 miles to the store ;)

On a good note, Kev Caveman Shirley is gonna be over in London for 5/6 weeks, so looks like some good 30+ mile rides lined up.

Thats all for now baby, peace and gut shabbos.
