Let it snow let it snow let it snow

Lo siento para la mas tarde post, tengo español en martes noches - sorry for the late post, I have spanish on tuesday nights :)

Not alot to report today, other than it's now -3 and just a tad too windy/cold for a bike ride, a lame excuse I know but...

Had another £30 in sponsors today, thankyou!!

Emailed the South Wales Argus to see about getting some local media attention. Should help generate some more donations. Even been working on a press release... certainly a first for me :)

Brought (ordered) Camelbak hydration system for those longer rides, no more stopping, unclipping, bending just to get a drink... still need to get a helmet though. Don't care how daft I may look, after seeing some of those drops at Cwmcarn, I'm not risking my noggin, that grey matter is expensive stuff!!

Also started emailing some big company's to see about getting sponsors, alas the replies so far don't look promising. The big company's tend to allocate a certain amount for charity and won't share that budget with small fry like me :(

Ahh well, was worth a try!! if you don't ask you don't get!!

Will try and keep a tally on the miles and funds raised on every blog entry, so you can keep upto date from the latest entry!! Something like:-

Total fundraising to date: £590.00
Miles Rode Today: 0
Miles Rode Since 16/02/06: 29

Until tomorrow...
