Northcott Vietnam Cycle Trek - Back on Track!

I haven't received any comments about my blog prior to November 4 (my last entry) and nobody noticed that I haven't been around for a while, so I'm slipping back in to kickstart the process once more.

A series of travels, dramas, injuries (an achilles tendon that's now nearly better), Christmas and stuff represented a confluence of events that so little in the way of progress during the last two months, but I think I'm back on track now.

Had two rides this weekend with my brother Tony - the first for about 50 minutes on a variety of bike tracks around his home and then more than an hour today down at Parramatta Park (with a detour to the Port Bar Restaurant for coffee). Wheezing and puffing and blowing was, I guess, par for the course, but I'm determined that I will now get on with the job that I started and then let fall by the wayside over the last couple of months.

Off to the physio in the morning for continuing work on the achilles, although it's certainly a whole lot better than it had been during November and December.

Also got an extra $130 to put into the fundraising kitty, courtesy of my good friend David White, so I'm now up to $630 out of the $5,000 that I've got to raise in order to participate - gotta keep working the emails and phones, I guess.
