Why have you not helped Alda yet?

September 3, 2010 | Leave a Comment

Dear Friends,

Our friend’s 12 year old daughter, Alda, has been diagnosed with Leukemia and has gone into the National University Hospital in Singapore for treatment.

Alda lives in Batam Indonesia, just 20 kilometers from Singapore and her mother works as a domestic helper.

Needless to say Alda’s family are not able to offer the necessary hospitalization in Indonesia due to cost so we are trying to raise the $SGD 320,000 ($USD 236,000) that it is going to cost for her treatment over the next six months in Singapore. Alda is about to go for her second chemotherapy treatment, followed by a bone marrow transplant in the next few weeks.

With this treatment Alda has a very good chance of a full recovery.

You can transfer money directly to the account.

Thanks a lot and thanks to those that have been so generous already.

Please feel free to forward this page to your friends.

Regards,

Greg and Fauziah

Back to Work Training

August 31, 2010 | Leave a Comment

First full day back at work today after close to 6 weeks off.
Not too hard. 11 more full days of work then Autumn vacation!!! 3 more weeks off!!!

Plenty of riding time ahead.

Today there were 10 riders. Nice solid pace and a breakaway. Still not 100% fit so I sat out one lap but could tell I was much fitter than last week. If I put in a few extra rides and some leg strengthening weights I think I’ll be close to good! very soon.

End of Holidays!

August 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment

One ride tomorrow before I head back to work on Monday.

Had a nice drink out last night with the golfjin.com crew but mistimed the trains home and had to walk close to 20km from Kashiwa to home. Yes, I could have got a taxi or even stayed out all night. I could have even gone and stayed at the in-laws.
After fending off the Chinese massage parlour lady and loading up with some drinks and fuel I started the long trek along route 16 and it took me ages. was hot and humid and my feet were aching. A couple of gallons of beer in the system didn’t help either. Took me over 3.5 hours and I think this may have been the best strengthening for my legs in a long time.
Was a good exercise in many respects!
Will never do it again!

Hakuba Hols

August 22, 2010 | Leave a Comment

Had to sneak in at least a few days up here.
Got in the car just before midnight last night with the car chocker full. (no roof racks this time).
After seeing Sky off in the morning I had to get away and take Sky’s parents before all 3 of us realised Sky was not going to be in his usual spot the next morning.

Fours hours in the car with one toilet stop we arrived just before 4a.m. Unpacked and got in an hour’s sleep.
Took the doggies for their morning walk, had another 2 hour snooze then slowly put the bike together.
After giving up back in May (feeling sick) and not completing the usual fitness test hill climb I decided today to do it, but to do it as slow as possible so I had at least a positive result and something to work on.

Today: 36.16km
