What? Why? How? (sticky)

Hello and welcome,

Thanks for dropping by. I set this site up to track my progress towards the completion of my 2012 challenge. I'm aiming to travel 2,012km in 20.12 (appx) weeks in the gym or on the road. You can sign up yourself (or find out more) at this website.

Early on in the process I realised that the distance I would be covering would get me from Bristol, UK - where I live - to the outskirts of Rome, Italy. So I've been tracking my route along the way following this map.

I hope to raise a bit of money for Habitat for Humanity in the course of this - there's a justgiving page for that purpose. There is no obligation on anyone to donate - for me this is more about the process.

Cheese and chocolate.

I haven't had a chance to post for a while, it's been a busy few days.

Since reaching half way on the trip from Bristol to Rome, I've crossed the virtual border into Switzerland, a very fine country, and cycled around lake Geneva, pictured (you can't magine the gym as being quite as inspiring)

More tickets this week: we're off to an Olympic test event for ..... Synchronised swimming!!  The event itself is of a little interest as I used to know a few synchronised swimmers (? well what would you call them?) when I was training in the unsynchronised form of the event. I remember Sunday evening obsessions being accompanied by muffled tones of the Art of Noise.  No, the important thing is the event gives us a clean sweep of the 3 major Olympic venues well in advance of the games themselves, and for a fraction of the cost. Watch this space for more images in the coming weeks.
