B update

i actually rode my bike today! i know! nothing like a bit of last minute training. this time next week i'll be somewhere on the a9 on the way to strathpuffer. in typical style i'm some what under prepared, but i can assure you this is the most 'under prepared' i have ever been. exciting.

it was the fresh snow that actually enticed me outside today. enough to make everything pretty again and to give just enough grip on the frozen/thawed mud. i got lost twice but discovered two new downs, not sure if i'll be able to find them again. at least 'puffer is on a marked course. also, there's going to be some baking later (photos tomorrow) and if 'puffer doesn't completely break me, then the first bivvy of the year isn't far off.

you'll be as fresh as a daisy (a strange saying i find) and love every minute of it...once you've finished ;-)

With full cheerleader gear and pom poms but in a manly way of course =)

uc- i think my attempt at running last saturday has scuppered any 'daisy' tendencies i might have had!

sbrt- of course ;)
