I (finally) entered the Gong ride this morning and later sent this email out to some of my friends & family -
Hello all :-)
As some of you know, I have decided to do the Sydney to Gong ride in 2 weeks time. For those of you who don't know, it's 90kms. Yes, that's right. 90kms. On a bike. OMG !
Anyhoo, this is a fundraising event for MS Australia so I encourage everyone to sponsor me :-) I had absolute no idea that the average age of diagnosis of MS is 30 (!) and 5 people are diagnosed every day. Besides, knowing that there is money on the line might be the only thing that stops me from climbing off the bike & curling up in a foetal position and sucking my thumb by the side of the road somewhere between here & the Gong ;-)
I've set myself the goal of raising $1,000 - a HUGE task given the race is only 2 weeks away but hey, what's life without lofty goals.

Lunch is definately in order! Which weekend is the ride?
'HERE' is too hard. Put in $10 for me and I'll hand it over next time you're in town for coffee.
everest base camp was easier - and that was sure a lofty goal!
enjoy the spin :)
You will do great! I will be able to donate next time around....promise!
