We have a mascot

All good adventures should have a lucky mascot right? 

And so have we - in the form of Matt's wonderful new puppy Rio. Courtesy of the delightful Deborah Davies who arranged for Matt to get Rio. Rio is doing fine and is learning to bark freely every morning to remind Matt to get off his posterior and onto his bike !!

And as if that wasn't enough, Deborah's eldest son is getting married in the next few weeks and instead of gifts, guests are being asked to donate to charity. And some of those donations will be used to enhance our charity cause. Quite amazing to be honest that. 

Rio has also learn't to be cute and if - and only if Matt actually does some cycling then Rio has already learnt to reward his new "Dad" in the appropriate doggy way.
