Doing Pedal for Scotland again this year...
Let's do a potted history -
- First time done and completed with my wife
- Second time, birth of our first lovely son
- Third time, signed up, death in the family
- Fourth time, signed up, got about 10 miles in and pedal kept coming off - ended up stopping and catching the train back to Glasgow very much ticked off and fuming, calmed down by having lunch with wife and family on my return
That brings us to this year, so what do we have on the cards? Several test runs of varying lengths have been completed and happy with overall fitness if going to be a slow one, bike has been checked out and extra weight of commuting removed.
Camelbak light weight back and 2 litre bottle bought and ready so running light, no major dramas on the calendar (hear that life? Leave it!) *achem* had to get that out.
So am I feeling like it's going to happen this time? Hell yes! is the answer resounding, will it be a fast one? Not bloody likely but that doesn't matter, as long as I finish that's all that matters at this point, the challenge and the enjoying it with good mates is where it's at, any negative vibes can go take a swim in a deep dark lake with their hands tied behind their back.
Bring it on!
