Last you heard from me (officially posting on the topic) I was planning to ride every day of Tour de France in the cow suit, well that was successfully completed; some days riding on the trainer in the kitchen, some days testing the drag coefficient (really bad btw) of the cow suit in strong winds, through bush or on the road, leaving and getting home in the dark commuting to work and back, not a single day was skipped even on the 'rest' days. Some drivers hooted as they passed one or two wound down their windows asking what it was about, many pointed and laughed (especially the kids). See more in the regular updates I posted on the GiveNGain page for my fund raising project... whilst there why not drop a small donation into the pot, even small ones are appreciated (For the record my total current stands at R3067 as there was a donation paid directly to CHOC). Thanks to all the donors, I'm never sure how much publicity to give to you all but it is greatly appreciated.
On Mon 18 July near the end of the challenge I rode on the trainer for 67 minutes with an avg heart rate of 67% of my max, an avg cadence of 67rpm, and if you look carefully you might see another 67 in the image of my Garmin below (some basic math skills will help)
CHOC Cow activities have been ongoing, we have swept quite a number of races this year being involved with Nissan Trailseeker, Dual X,and the Ashburton series we have assisted with a few crash victims, and a lot of broken bikes and punctures, often able to get people back on the go and complete what otherwise may have been a disappointing day out for them.
This week I have been helping with the funeral arrangements of a friend and mentor who has succumbed to this dreadful disease, and whilst it's hard to see anyone go through this it is especially hard for children and their families, which is why I do what I do, we suffer a little to help those who suffer a lot through the treatment of cancer.
Please help me support CHOC in the wonderful work they do in supporting those in need by clicking here to go do my donation page and make a contribution, big or small every bit helps. I'm aiming to raise R20,000 again and we still have quite a way to go.
73 days to go for the 94.7 MTB Challenge and 80 for the 94.7 Cycle Challenge, with quite a few races in the meantime I'm sure I will do another update or two, thanks for your time.
