So nice to be on holidays, but ……..
I need to train! I am watching all of my fellow Tour riders train their butts off whilst I sit here in Penang sipping Pina Colada’s!! 
That’s not true, well the drinking part!! I am having a lovely break with my family though.
It has not been easy to train here as I only have use of the hotel’s gym equipment, and it’s not always working!! I am doing a lot of running on the treadmill, and even surprised myself and made it to 21 kilometres one day. I will be back on Saturday and then the serious stuff starts.
With only 57 days to go until we depart Sydney, the training must be consistent and dedicated at this point. It involves many hours on the bike so that we as rider’s are able to get back on the bike for ten days straight. I am always grateful to my family for allowing me the time to dedicate to this awesome cause.
I have managed to do a little bit of fundraising with the WA boys (Doug Hanna, Chris Pepper, Matt Fulton, and Derek Carroll), where we did static rides in two different shopping centres at Carousel and Kingsley. $3246 was raised for TdC. I am very thankful to those that donated, and it was a great effort by all concerned. 
Plenty more needs to be done to reach our fundraising goals, so this is another thing to focus on when I get back from holidays.
Here is a shot of Chris Pepper and I hard at it!
My next post should have lots of juicy data about all of the kilometres cycled and elevations climbed in my quest to catch up!!

If you want you can even spread the word and post it on facebook.
