I am a bikeaholic. I love nothing more than riding my beautiful bike. I call her Old Faithful.
Think less:

Actually, much more like this:
Because that is actually me (a year ago)...but I wish I was the middle one! Alas, I'll never be sophisticated or beautiful enough. For me it is porn.
One of the main reasons for writing this blog is to motivate me with all things cycling and share the things that excite me/grab my attention. In a fortnight I'll be en-route to Paris from London, err avec bike(?) - well I will have *hopefully* completed day two (the worst one - 95 miles!!) I've done quite a few long distance rides before but never one that far. I'm doing it as the representative for CLIC Sargent (the charity I work for) along with 20 odd actual fundraisers - I was chosen for the rep role which is a fantastic honour. I'm piss-myself excited and scared all at the same time. I can only expect this to only get worse over the next two weeks...
My other big geek hobby is CRAFT! Well more specifically sewing. Ok if you want to be really specific I'm obsessed with buying fabric and then dreaming of all the lovely things I'm going to make while eating a fishfinger sandwich instead. I'm getting a new sewing machine for my birthday (no longer a pipe dream, it currently resides in a box at my parents house) next month and in the meantime I'm doing all the projecty bits 'until I get the new machine that will do it all for me', i.e. nothing. My main project at present is making my soon-to-be-4-years-old nephew a quilt so I'm spending a lot of my time gushing over dinosaur print fabric and cutting out squares til my neck/eyes/wrist goes funny. As I've already mentioned, I need major motivation as his birthday fast-approaches (19th December sounds far away doesn't it?), but to make myself feel less bad I've also bought him a bike. I should also mention I rock as an auntie!
So welcome to my blog proper. Next up: photos!
