A few less sleeps to go and a few more kms under my belt on account of the enjoyable Great Victorian Bike Ride, November 25 - December 2, which went through some of the most glorious countryside Victoria has to offer. And I must say that the scones this year were plentiful and of excellent quality. Well done, ladies en route!
But back to the Orient Express, as the 2008 European ride is called. I'm hoping there is a fine tradition of home-made scones to be had as the only reason I ride really, is to eat. Well, that and the scenery, the company and the challenge. And for 2008, I have another incentive. The National Breast Cancer Foundation has accepted my offer to raise funds for them so that's exciting. All my friends, acquaintances and associated accomplices will help me I'm sure. Perhaps if I'd been quick enough, I could have organised donations in lieu of Christmas gifts.
