Biker Gnomes How cool is this.

Day 2 still alive

Ok I did better today then yesterday 3.2 miles in 22 minutes. A large hill is at the end of this ride I bonked about half way up but was able to walk it off a few hundred feet and get back on and go on. I am happy.

Mean Housemates

My friends who I live with are AVID (read 25plus mile a day) bike riders and fans of the Tour de France. They Got a new bike this week and as it was my birthday they say I can use it untill I can get my own. I started today on a 3 mile course that started with a nice downhill of course that means it ends with ... a KILLER up hill. Needless to say I walked the last quarter mile (maybe a little more) but I started it. Nice to spend some time working out again. Going to try again tommorrow.

Selling Gnomes

I have spent the last week preparing a MEDIA BLITZ for my site All The Gnomes I have placed an ad on a web comic called Something Positive using this banner: The results will be detailed here. Already I have 14 unique visitors and the ad has only run for 15 minutes this is fantastic. I will be going to sleep now but when I wake up I will give more information.
