Our new wheels ...

That's right! brand new wheels... all four of them!! but not what you are thinking. We bought bikes, 2 of them... hence 4 wheels! :-) We decided it was the next best thing and would be fun to get into cycling a bit more. Rebecca has been running for over a year now and is training up for the October Dublin Marathon, she's also been practising her swimming... cycling is the next thing before a triathlon next year maybe? Meanwhile, Johnny has always liked cycling so a roadbike is just the cool gadget he's lookin' for.

So Johnny now cycles the 14kms to work each day which can be tough on days with the wind and the rain - which rarely happens in Dublin... NOT!. And just to make sure we keep it up, we signed ourselves up (with Craig Moore) to a charity Team Triathlon in September. By 'Team Triathlon' that is Craig is doing the 1.5km swimming, Johnny doing the 40km cycle and Rebecca gets to cross the finish line after a 10km run.

So there'll be a bit of training for Johnny for the next month or so... and to help tracking it, you'll see an 'odometer' to the right of this blog which tracks the distance Johnny has gone on his bike... hopefully this meter will keep clockin' up some serious mileage before the race!!
