So I have decided on another madcap idea to get fit and loose weight. A few years ago I ran the London marathon and raised money for a couple of different charities. As most of you will know the wear and tear of the training left me with a a prolapsed disc and a floppy foot! Having now spent the last few years getting fat I have discovered road cycling. It has many advantages over running including no unnecessary jarring of the old back. However the best thing about it is the gadgets!! There are sooooo many gadgets and they are all awesome! The downside is definitely the Lycra....I have yet to come to terms with the awful sight of me in bib shorts! 

However more importantly than all of the above is the charity I have chosen. UNICEF are a charity for children. They provide help for children in the most desperate of situations. Including getting aid to children affected by the conflict in Syria. So please dig deep and donate to a good cause. 

Thanks

Ian
