Oh, crikey. Delta and I left our home at 6.30 am this Sunday for the MS Bike Ride, and it hit us like a crashing mass of icycles that all of a sudden, winter has arrived.
Without fair warning or the necessary preamble we fondly term autumn, Winter just decided to pay us a visit of it's own volition. Delta and I, shivering uncontrollably as we waited for the ride to start, found ourselves woefully unprepared for this icy onslaught.
Rather unfair, need I mention?
In any case, once the ride started, I pedalled with unrivaled furiosity just to warm up the ol' corpus sanctum. Inevitably of course, all the crazy pedalling came to naught because of a mischievously gusty head wind that kept the entire crowd treading in place for large parts of the ride. Rather comic, when you think about it. Less so when you're actually the poor sod freezing your butt off.
But all the same, as in every year, we did make it to the end in good time after all, and our first thought on making it was, "oh, that wasn't that bad after all!". So to those of you who supported us by donating towards fighting multiple sclerosis - thank you. We're proud to do this every year, and couldn't do it without you.
