I neat website for cyclists found us, and we are now featured on their site. Check this out : See us on Touring101!

After much research, it seems us poor men have a much more difficult time when it comes to choosing a saddle – our anatomy is somewhat different!

Thanks for the info for checking to see if you have the right bike seat for your bummy shape!

Dave just went out and bought a new seat for his bike and now I think I must be in the market for one also.

Yesterday dawned bright and sunny, albeit cold, so undaunted I set off to try for 100kms (that’s 63 miles for our US friends) It was only about 5 degrees above freezing, but at least the temperature had a “plus” sign in front of it instead of a “minus” sign! The snowplows had cleared most of the hard shoulders, so apart from a few shady areas, the way was snow-free.

Short entry today too much cold white stuff on the road! Hope we don’t see any of this on our Trek!!

I see it is raining….again!!!! No doubt there is a lot of snow in Newfoundland. I do hope it’s all melted by the time we get there. I am not fond of the cold. The rain I can deal with.

It is so fun to see the replies coming in. Thanks Ned for your advice. I like the way you think. I think training too much would just be crazy.
A few people have told us about the hot shower “club”. Thanks for all your encouragement and comments.
Well, back to the real world of work.
Later…..Maxine

It is unbelievable. Here we are with our website up and running and already I have donations. I am supposed to set a goal so I am thinking of what is realistic and do I really need to be realistic?Should I just reach for the stars?

Although we have a wonderful mental picture of cycling everyday in glorious sunshine, the reality is that “sometimes” it may rain! So, I guess with only three months to go, we had soon better start some training – even if the weather is unkind!
