Good training ride on Sunday. A fairly smooth 30 miles to get used to riding as a group.  Nice route setup by Phil on ‘bikely.com’ (http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Reigate-Rusper-Reigate).

Cheers,

CD of the week.

Monday, January 25th, 2010

CD of the week was born about 6 years ago following numerous “debates” about which music was played to the masses here at DW. A whole set of rules were written up (too many to go into detail!) and we signed in blood to undertake the simple task of taking it in turns to introduce new CD’s to our library each week. These CD’s are then voted on by all participants, voting critera does depend on the individual however!.  CD of the week has proved so popular that the system developed here at DW is known to have been employed in various offices around the world!.

This culminates in an offical top ten being compiled at the end of each callender year. Last years top ten worked out thus;

1. Blak Roc

2. The Prodigy

2. Mos Def

3. Ministry of Sound

4. The Eagles of Death Metal

5. Wolf Mother

6. Glasvegas

7. The Enemy

8. The XX

8. Seasick Steve

This weeks CD of the week has fallen to me and I’ve gone with an impulse purchase. First impressions are not great but it’s got 4 days to turn it around.

London to Paris Bike Ride

nspcc

I’m all signed up and ready to roll (in need of some miles in the saddle though!)

Over the bank holiday weekend in May next year, myself and 30 other amateur riders will be cycling over 300km from Central London to the Eiffel Tower in Paris on behalf of Rugbytots in aid of the NSPCC

Every day, thousands of children and young people call ChildLine to talk about a problem they face. Hundreds of caring adults also call the NSPCC Helpline because they are worried about a child’s safety. The NSPCC’s Child’s Voice Appeal aims to transform ChildLine and the NSPCC Helpline to ensure they are there for all children. The hardest thing for an abused child is to speak out.

I have a target to hit but of course keen to exceed this as much as possible!  Please, dig deep and sponsor what you can, it is an extremely worthy cause.  Just £100 would help the NSPCC answer the calls of an extra 25 desperate children. Consider how much money we are trying to raise and what impact that will have on those young lives!

If you have already sponsored me, a big thanks and I will you keep you posted on our training and progress.

Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!
