One week before the start of the 2016 Cycle Against Suicide.
In a week from today I will be on my way to Cavan and Monaghan on Day 2 of the CAS 2016.
I woke early this morning and started to think about it all.
My enthusiasm has not been up there for it, these last few weeks. Don't know why that is. Been preoccupied with my shoulder and trying to get back fit for the summer cycles to come. And haven't factored in too much the CAS.
But had some good spins last week and the weekend and legs are beginning to seem as like they may be up for a challenge.
Had the girls from St Marys school out on the Failte Group training on Saturday. They are planning a leg themselves and we were pleased to assist. The residue from the reception we got coming into Naas on the opening day of the 2014 CAS is still resonating. Not only in Naas, but in the CAS 'community' where it is still a bench mark for receptions.
Anyway, when I could not sleep this morning, I dug out the old blogs and read a few of the days experiences, looked at a few photos and it wasn't long before I was able to say YES! Lets do this!
So this is a week of getting prepared, getting ready, getting organised, making lists. Preparing for weather that will most likely rain down on us, snow on us and freeze our cleats off. But we have been there before and we are made of strong stuff. We will keep going, like we always have, Shoulder to Shoulder!
