It's a team event!

Despite the multitude of beer consumed the night before, on Sunday morning Ed and I headed over to Ladan and Telly’s house for a TEAM TRAINING SESSION!

Telly the Conquerer didn’t participate in the training session (due to lack of bike) – but he did spend our training session offering words of encouragement… while eating sweets! Our perseverance and dedication was put to the test. We definitely need to get him a bike and trainer ready for our next session.

I have never had such a difficult training session. Between waves of nausea, the pain from my finger (I think I broke it on Saturday) and the hard-core demands of trainer Troy McLure – I was struggling. I don’t think I made much sense once our stint was over – but I pulled through.

Needless to say, I have learnt a thing or two:

  1. The amount of alcohol consumed the night the before directly impacts the enjoyment of riding
  2. Ladan puts on a pretty awesome spread so will have to ensure I am feeling good enough to enjoy it next time

As you can see, I am committed to my training regime and will be more than ready for the 200km ride. So please donate to my cause – I need to raise $2500 in order to participate in this ride. Click here to donate today.

My team – OPP – onTaRiO pEdAL pushers – needs $15,000 combined donations in order to ride. A challenge but acheiveable with your help.
