Things We Do

You may recall the name Phil in some earlier posts when it comes to going riding somewhere - like Paris-Roubaix or just locally in Surrey.

Well, Phil will be involved in a "Spin-a-thon" at the NZ Embassy this friday, and as things would go, I've put my hand up to be involved... The simple deal is that, using stationery bikes the Team will attempt to ride the length of New Zealand in 24 hours to raise funds for Help for Heroes.

Now, why do I mention this? Well, I'll also be taking part, and my shift will be 4am - 6am this Saturday morning. I won't get to see the likes of Sean Fitzpatrick (former All Black captain) who will be taking part on the friday, but he and a few others will be on TV.

The other reason I mention this is that there are "House Rules" for the event, and one of them is something that includes a little Aussie v NZ banter. I have the jersey you see here, and questioned Phil on whether I'd be let in if I wore it... The NZ comeback is that when the person wearing this jersey walks in, then all must sing the Australian National anthem. Funny. Even more so, that it will be a room full of Kiwi's singing it...
