I cannot believe I have managed to work out how to use a blog - thanks Angela A for setting up yours and prompting me into sorting one out!
So, just a quick update as to the current position: I am currently training and generally preparing for my cycle ride from John O'Groats to Land's End. Dad (Philip) has refined my route and has hopefully moved a couple of mountains (or monroes) from my path, all of the accommodation has been booked - and the best thing is that people have been so generous that the amount raised for Rock RNLI Lifeboat's "Train One Save Many" campaign already stands at £7,200 (minus gift aid contributions) - yippeee!
Chris (husband) has also been excellent - providing lots of moral support, making sure my bike works, fitting my clip-in pedals.. and laughing until he coughed up his kidney when I fell off my bike having forgotten to unclip from my clip-in pedals. Southwark Bridge Road now has a very large dent in it ...
So, all in all - a good start, although I feel very nervous about having to get on my bike every day for 2 weeks and pedal for 80-odd miles a day, especially if it is windy ... so I am concentrating on not thinking about that bit...
More from me when the Pasty Run begins!

I am cycling from John O'Groats to Land's End (approx 1000 miles against the prevailing winds), to raise as much money as possible for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution's "Train One Save Many" campaign for the Rock Inshore Lifeboat, North Cornwall and I am cycling in memory of my mother, Ann - the best mummy ever!
Just to say that my main sponsor (and inspiration for the title of this mad adventure) is the best baker for Pastys in North Cornwall (and beyond) - Malcom Barnecutts. Check them out (if you are a fan of the pasty!) at www.barnecutt.co.uk !!!

Well done Becca, the first day is over!! Hope you are not too achy in the morning, and try not to swallow any more flies, they are not a good source of protein you know! Looking forward to reading tomorrow's episode.
Love Sue & John
