I've taken a 6 month career break to help me decide what I want to do when I grow up! This BLOG will record my adventures and chart my progress as I cycle the western pacific coast of the US for Room to Read. Find out what I've been up to and how I'm getting on...

Day 15 report - part 2

...so i checked the photo, decided it was merely a flesh wound and got back on my bike.

Its one of the oldest football cliches...take every game as it comes. For good reason...the players need to be "in the moment" and not worrying about playing City next week or Inter on Tuesday. This is also a great mindset for me on the bike. Just deal with today, survive to lunch etc. However, dont try to tell me that Fergie hasnt got longer term plans than the next game. Thats why Man U have been the best team in England for 20 years. He always has someone to replace the leavers. I too need to sometimes be Fergie and take the longer view. That is why, despite feeling back on form today, i will be resting tomorrow. With 2 monster climbs (details tomorrow) in the next 200 miles I need to be ready. Im resting Giggsy and Rooney for the big match over the weekend if you like ;)

Laundry done, bike shop and library located for tomorrow...time to eat...I might even seek out an ale! Tattie bye the noo!
