Hello, is there anybody there??

Hmm... Just trying to set up a blog?? Not sure whether this will work or not, but what the heck - will give it a go!

Semi-mad idea to cycle from Melbourne to Sydney following Ad's wedding - probably won't happen, but sounds fun

Thought I'd post a 'blog', just in case it does, so family and friends can follow progress... (lucky you!)

Have devised training plan...

...although have yet to implement

Am the proud owner though of new bicycle lights which I purchased last week - put them to the test on Friday with a late night inaugural training ride to last-orders at the Caldy Rugby Club beer festival (a mammoth 2 miles). Deceptively VERY bright, as I found out when staring straight at the LED lights at a distance of approx 20cm and then pressing the 'on' switch... (hey, we've all done it!)

Once sight restored, opted for energy-saving-flash-mode to cycle up the unlit Montgomery hill road... banging headache 2 minutes later and on verge of brain seizure due to stroboscopic effect... Headache resolved following 6 half-pints of Wigglewaggle(?)... only to return again upon awakening the following morning... blinking lights (quite literally)

Will keep blog posted with any new developments as and when...
