Weekly Update!

Crap, we've got a logo now!
This is official!

It's been a week since I've started writing this here blog. So what have I done? Well there was a meeting of the DARE (which it turns out stands for Development and Research Expeditions) cycling folk last week- the route is being planned. We also now have a logo (see left)! So this is really happening! Very excited. We've also started fund-raising, as we are doing this for charity after all. 


Part of the fundraising, for anybody in Dundee, will be me and a few other brave volunteers getting our legs waxed outside the union. The date is yet to be confirmed, but there will be pictures, and there will be video. If anybody can wax, or wants to sponsor me for the loss of my leg hair and dignity, let me know- the e-mail is below. 


All money donated goes directly to the DARE causes, which this year can be found here. They include helping construct a hospital in Tanzania, working in a children's hospital in Borneo and setting up a summer camp for Romany children in Bulgaria. It's all really good stuff, so if you can, please donate anything you can. I'll be posting details of how to do so shortly, but if do want to donate, you can send me a message at r.fitch@dundee.ac.uk.

Current Mileage (according to 2 week old bike computer)- 122 miles (+23 miles)

Average speed on home run: 15mph (+2mph- gf didn't quite get why I was quite so excited lol)

Current running mileage: Still 1.82 miles, been very busy :-(

Current weight: Scales say 5Kg less- that'll be the first diet week blip though :-p.

Current mantra: “You know, I think this might just be possible"

Things wrong with bike: Bike is in shop, getting new breaks and suchlike. Thus riding older, heavier bike.- great training I guess.
