Sunday 9th March 2014
Training session are well underway, and thankfully Ellie appears to enjoy riding in the DoggyRide. I'm not very good at the best of times on the gentlest of slopes,so it's near on impossible for me to cycle up towing 41 kg. The trailer weighs 16 kg + Ellie at 25 kg and that's without any kit. So I'm afraid Ellie that you will be walking up those hills and maybe giving me some help, it's your opportunity to prove to me that you have a bit of Husky x in you.
So bring on the sunshine as I need to get as much training in as possible before I attempt The Pyrenees.
March 21st - 90 minute long walk, one large blister appeared. After a close inspection of my trainers I found I had worn a hole in the lining - trainers now in bin.
March 22nd - blister reabsorbing
March 23rd - blister looking good :-)
March 30th - weekly visit to Issigeac Sunday market, windy and cold however the little children were out parading wearing fancy costumes and playing their rather noisy home made instruments - Ellie was not impressed, so we had to make a very quick exit. Hope she copes better on the Camino.
April 14th Replacement buckled rear wheel fitted, so training recommenced. Need to build up my calf muscles as I can't get up the hills.
April 20th Getting plenty of exercise as Ellie does love her walkies, but I'm not putting is as many kms on my bike as I should. There is just not enough hours in my day. - I know what you are thinking - I should get up earlier ;-)
April 26th After a trial nights camping which I'm really pleased to say went well. Ellie is obviously keen to get going, posing for a photo in her DoggieRide
