Kirsty's Oxfam Challenge Page

One day I had a crazy idea to ride around in the heat and humidity of Laos for what I believe to be a good cause.
I am participating in an Oxfam Challenge. Part of the Challenge is to raise a minimum of $5000. The money goes towards a cycling trip in Laos visiting Oxfam projects, and to Oxfam Australia to help fund their programs.
This page gives details on the Challenge, my progress towards the fundraising target and tracks my fitness training for the trip to Laos.

Well, I found the gym up here on site, and have started on my training program. See my Training page for details. I went for a stroll in the park and a short cycle. It's a starting point, and better than sitting on my backside in front of a computer... hang on, that's what I am doing now!

My coach has also said he'll write a "Coaches' Corner" page for me, so that you can see his side of the training story.

Yes, I have a coach! That's almost professional of me :) My mate Brad, who I met a few years ago now in Port Hedland when we were working up there one summer, knows a couple of things about bicycles and has kindly offered to give me some tips, and maybe even some fashion advice on what kind of lycra to buy.

Watch out for the link to the right, soon to join the others.
