Hi all,

Not a great day.  On Tuesday and Wednesday I was away working so did not do any training on the bike.  Today after another hard day of work  I  came home with the intention of cycling.  First of all I decided to  decant some of my  wine into the next stage of the process.

I picked up, or at least attempted to lift a 5 gallon container which unfortunately was sticking to the floor.  I tried to lift and put my back out.

Yes I know, that you should check the weight before lifting, bend your knees, lift gently and then straighten - I should know I am a b+++++++ safety consultant!!!!!!  Like many other people in the UK I thought it would not happen to me, have done this may times before, it is not heavy and I can lift it.

I am setting the alarm for 0600 and will go for a cycle in the morning.  Then off to do a hard days work followed by my trip to the hospital for my Echogram.

Thanks to all who have sponsored and hope everyone else is saving hard to sponsor nearer the time.
