Like many people I am totally hacked off with our MPs and beleive that they are in the job for what they can get out of it - no longer a case of helping their fellow man but more a case of helping themselves. Gorbals Mick is the latest to cost you and me the sum of £1.7m for redecorating his house!! Included in this is air conditioning, at a time when millions in this country can no longer afford to heat the house they live in never mind to cool it down on the odd hot day we have.
This is after his abuse of air miles and in my opinion the soner he goes the better. Mind you he may be replaced by someone even more greedy than he is - it is possible.
Cycling trip to France I have had to rearrange as I have not been able to raise the sponsorship money required - I have rescheduled to cycle in September so it gives me some more time to get sponsorship in.
Bike is much lighter and I cycled today at just over an average of 10mph - best for some time. Will be stepping up my training and am going on a calorie controlled diet as from tomorrow. Currently 12st 3.5lbs and I am hoping to lose about 1 stone over the next few months with sensible diet and extra exercise - will kep you posted.
A couple of teething problems with the bike and would hope to get them fixed over the course of this week. New pictures of the bike following its work on web site: www.myspaces.live.donking so check it out.
Take care and stay safe
