OMG I have committed myself!

[Peterborough Guy]

Thats it, I have decided to do a 50 mile bike ride just around Peterborough next May, and so I know I have to do it, I have set up a Just Giving site.

Does anyone want to join me, or would anyone like to sponsor me. I have decided to do it for BOSPA, I thought its a worthwhile charity as it has allowed me to even get back on my bike.

Here is the link that you can get to my sponsor page. http://www.justgiving.com/Gary-Albone2012

I will keep you all updated.

You can't back out now Gary - you have your first donation. Well done, and good luck with the training.

You're a total inspiration Gary! 2nd donation, done!

For me, I am thinking of doing a parachute jump when I eventually reach a weight that is not above the parachute limits anymore .... had not thought I might actually be able to do it for BOSPA, that is very heart warming that you have chosen that charity, mucho respect, Gary!

Just a quick note to say thank you to everyone that has supported me.

Hi Gary,

Just wanted you to know that I read your blog. I have a number of blogs set up in google reader so whenever there is a new entry I get an automatic alert.

I tried to comment today on your progress update blog with photos, but blogger would not play ball for me!

Just wanted you to know that some people are reading your blog ... I know myself from writing a few blogs in the past that we cannot always tell if there is anyone reading or if we are posting things off into the ether to a viewership of just one (i.e. ourselves!).

Your pics looks fab and the progress you have made since last year is phenomenal !!!

Ah thanks Sharon, do you use Blogger, as you can get stat reports within the settings?

I don't at the moment Gary, but might do so post op.

In the past 5 years I have started (and deleted) several blogs, two of them were attempts at "weight loss blogs" (when I was still attempting normal diet and exercise!) ..... and a couple of other media / news interest type blogs.

At the moment because I am still waiting for my op I don't want to "jinx" anything by starting a blog too early (my previous weight loss blogs were diaries of my NON successful attempts to lose weight).

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to all that have donated so far, and there is still time to donate if you want to
