VCT Day minus 56

Eight weeks to go until we all get on the plane to Ho Chi Minh City!

Tony and I have been out and about again today, riding around Sydney Olympic Park for about 3 and a half hours. We did some flat, some long hills, short slopes - a good mix of what we guess we can anticipate when we get to Vietnam.

I've been surprised at how quickly my legs and lungs have swung back into action - it's almost as if all that cycling and walking when we were growing up has meant the body saying "Oh yeah, I remember how to do this now". Got a bit cheeky and let go of the handlebars for a brief couple of moments ("Look ma, no hands!").

Things not so positive on the fundraising front - a slow process, but still about $2,000 raised; we'll get there!
