Turning forty used to sound scary from a thirty year old perspective...

And before you can blink.... FORTY!!

But actually... now I am here... I am rather enjoying it!
These significant birthdays are a great time for reflection... and tend to spur me on to do something new and exciting to prove to myself that forty is kind of young!

So to celebrate... I have taken on the 'Wildside Challenge'


I have done a few mountain bike 'challenges' (not really a race from my perspective) - each one a fairly big physical and mental challenge for me at the time! So wildside is taking it a 'little' bit further - 4 days, and some amount of kilometres (errr... dont think I have exactly worked this bit out yet)

Just a little bit of training to do... I have 7 months! This is my journey....

SPRING!

Toad and Sedge keeping me warm
I had grand plans to keep fit over winter....

 It has rained the last couple of months... fairly consistently (apparently more than usual for Launceston). Having previously lived in the water logged Lakes District in the UK, it was hardly an excuse not to ride my bike... but the shorter days did mean I was using the gym after work, and riding the RPM bikes more often!

 But my biggest distraction has been study! I am doing some distance education in Feline Medicine this year -  keeping up my motivation up for my veterinary career! (riding my bike seems much more enjoyable) Getting through a module a month, complete with an assignment is eating up my life!!! ARgghhhh! It has been enjoyable and at least Toad and Sedge have been encouraging me.
