The start of a serious weekend !!

Well it's 8:43pm on Friday and I've just been out on the bike as I intend to test the durability of my bottom this weekend; gently but with determination.

I'm just back from an 8.4 mile (13.5kn) bike ride, with some headwind and a steady quarter-mile incline every circuit (it's a 1.2 mile route) and I have to say I can already appreciate the idea of trying to smuggle a vibrating massaging double cushioned saddle into Cuba. Got to do that and more though on Saturday and Sunday ..... and then probably soak my crotch in a bath of hot water and vinegar to toughen up the 'sensitive bits'.

I took my iPod with me and the second song I listened to was 'Soar' by Christina Aguilera (no not 'Sore') and I kid you not, the last song blasting out was 'It's Easier To Run' by Linkin Park!!!

Anyway just got to keep in mind the quote from the charity event website that says "And after 6 days of cycling your last day can be spent on a Caribbean beach, relaxing with fine dining and salsa dancing in the evening". Now that's all well and good but a travel book today reminded me that food is still rationed in Cuba.

This just gets better and better ha ha.
