It's been nearly a year...

... since I put anything here.
Busy year, really busy. Our little girl has been growing up, going from a gorgeous gurgling little rug rat to a gorgeous, smiling, giggling, happy little adventurer, who is utterly fearless in every respect (it would be nice if she gained a healthy respect for things like big drops, sharp things, really hot things but hey, there is plenty of time for that later).
Work has continued to be a changeable place, in a good way but at least a years stability beckons and I am kind of looking forward to it. Remember what I am actually supposed to do for a living.
As far as the cycling is concerned, I did say that this would be the place for that kind of thing didn't I? Well, I am still enjoying it, managing to commute a bit more but the next month will show how well that goes (I actually need to be at work to commute after all) and the Kielder 100 is looming large again. Next Saturday of course. Wow.
I am fitter than last year. That is certain. I have also actually cycled less than last year, that is also certain. I will be going up on my own this time which I have mixed feelings about. I should be able to be pretty selfish and mooch about, sleep when I feel like it and get ready in a slow and long winded way. But I will miss my girls and the phone reception up there is pants, so might literally be out of contact totally for a couple of days. Not done that before and not sure I will like it...
Still, it could be a dull midge infested couple of days for them so it is the right decision.
Right, that is it for now time to go to bed and dream of dusty Kielder trails and making the first cut off before it actually cuts off :-)
