Betsy

I bought a bike. She is a beaut - christened Betsy, don't ask me where the name came from let's call it a "moment" between man and bike or perhaps because I live with a farmer...hmmm one of life's mysteries but the name stays on.

Betsy, or Cannondale Caad 8 if you WANT to be technical, is my conduit for a new passion - Cycling. I couldn't be happier. Life is about having interests, passions to add an extra quality to life. Now I am not saying that I am going to turn into Lance Armstrong, or indeed I am not lauding my writing talents but I hope to document my journey as I go from beginner cyclist to racing legend.

Let's begin - time to get pedalling. Ride with me if you will...
