Technically true, but I need to take some of the advice on this blog about resting, or at least not over-committing.

I have been on holidays since last Thursday so that I could
- Scrub the house to eliminate as much cat hair as possible so my highly-allergic daughter-in-law could visit

I skipped last week’s social ride and I haven’t yet started on the 150 km for cancer challenge in November. If you want, you can sponsor me here.
