Small Updates for you all

I have finally gained access into my website panel, and as such we have a domain (albeit random)

http://www.imwellconfused.me.uk

This may not be the best idea in the world but from here we can link easier.

Rider update.

From my point of view everyone has been busy training. Even if I still need to improve and do more miles, but at least i'm on track with finding the cause of my back damage now.

I'll also be posting our Endomondo training sessions up the day they happen. way it's going i hope to be ready to bust 20+ miles by next friday


I also invested in some new toys for the riders today, PMR Radios. OK, not as glam as you think, but good for when some of us will lag behind (knowing my luck it will be me if i don't pick the pace up) or when something goes wrong. (as a primary means of comms over cellphones, as a lot of them will be used for tracking and such)


Now for what i ask of you lovely people
IS there any local companies or organisations you know of who could help us. We have WomWorld Nokia, the amazing Declan at the White Swan Inn. and now need more help.

Please get in touch by comment or look for me on facebook (Paul Gaywood Hooker)

Thanks
Paul and the Balls Of Steel Team

A little update

Thanks for peeping over to see us.

It's been a quiet few weeks, mainly with planning, training and asking companies for much needed support.

True there have been hic-ups along the way. but were on a steady pace.

In the last few days i decided to ask the Phone giant Nokia if they could help us in any way possible. Now i won't admit I never thought nokia or any affiliates would get in touch with me.

BUT...................


Then i recieved a private message via Facebook from Thomas at WOMWorldNokia offering us some assistance. This we have gratefully accepted.

I can't say too much yet, but this will make the entire Balls Of Steel Event a whole lot better.

Team updates
due to injury we have lost one rider. and another may have dropped out. but there'll be plenty of us to make a huge pace especially with the team in general smashing previous targets.

Between discussing the finer points on the event we have worked out together the dates for Balls Of Steel 2010 to run,

On the 11th of September 2010 we ride through some of the most challenging asphalt known to cyclists.
The evenings partying will be done on a seperate date this year so we can all be there to party with you, and make sure everyone has a great time.

We also have a total of 6 riders too. with many thanks to Vicky for this.
(once we all meet and have the final number of riders we will photo and blog a bit about ourselves.

Ride and play safe :)
