Santa on a Bike

There's nothing like a 6.30am cycle on a frosty Christmas morning to waken a chap up. 
On Christmas Eve night we discovered one of our daughter's presents was still at my parent's house. So, not wanting to disappoint her and also not risk wakening her with the sound of an engine starting up, I took to 'The Raleigh' and off I went to retrieve the aforementioned present.
Now, I don't know dear readers if you have ever ridden a bicycle in the dark and on ice, but I can assure you it is not for the faint hearted, no pun intended.
Anyway, after a few impressions of Todd Carty on a bike, and a welcome cuppa at my parents, I made it there and back on slowly thawing roads before my daughter realised a new day had dawned, and all was well in 'Cycling Santa's' household once again.

The Goal.

As I lay in intensive care back in Sept 2012, one of the things that kept me focused was a determination to complete my planned charity cycle (although with tubes and wires everywhere it wasn't looking as though it was going to be anytime soon). However here I am 15 months on, and although things aren't quite perfect yet, they are a whole lot better than what they would have been!!

I've been looking at possible options for recipients for my cycle and the aim is to complete a charity cycle at some point in 2014/15.

Season's Greetings
