Hi
the keen amongst you will have spotted the new Gaby chapter here today already but for everyone else click here http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/55484/gaby-book-11-cha...

Thanks for all your recent messages regarding the website and writing, all taken on board. I've decided to do the next Nena tale before banging on with Gaby, the first chapter is with my editing team now so it might be ready for Easter - in my dreams but certainly not long afterwards!

On a more coffee and cake level, the road trip with my parents to ride this years Spreewald Marathon (for the uninitiated its an 8km race one day followed by a 200km event the next) is all booked with ferries and hotels and the training is going not bad although they have forecast snow again tomorrow! My season of Sportive events is almost all booked up now, after the Spreewald its the 140km Tour de Yorkshire event followed by the similar length Petit Depart at Skipton with the slightly shorter L'Eroica event (bikes and technology must be pre 1987 so I'm rebuilding my 1978 race bike to ride) in the Peak District to round out the pre holiday set. After the long summer trip up the Dutch and German coasts i'll be tackling Holme Moss in a short 100km event before rounding things off with a flat 100km event across the Yorkshire levels. Makes my legs ache just thinking about all the climbing.

Of course we are squeezing another Gabycon, dates are July 4/5th, location Dorchester, England. Expect the usual sort of programme, eating, cycling, sightseeing and of course story telling from myself and Angharad! If you are interested in taking part please email me so we can get some idea of numbers, everyone welcome.
