It's all a bit empty at the moment but will soon be filling up with Etape information and how my training is going. I hope that you will continue to read about the next adventure.
It's almost two years since I first started this blog and it's been an amazing time - Etape 2008, the discovery of the heart problem, recovery, and then finally my personal victory on Ventoux. That day in July really has changed my life; somehow, I feel different inside. I struggle to articulate what the difference is; each time I write it down, it just sounds like a load of hippy rubbish. All I can say is that I feel strong, right in the middle of my chest - it's almost like I have become aware of my soul. I know, it sounds like nonsense but that's the only way I can describe it. Well, whatever the change, it feels damn good!
Thanks to everyone who has been reading and commenting - it's been fantastic :-)
I leave you with a picture of me, a happy woman on the top of Ventoux.

That 'Hippy feeling' is power, because knowledge is power and now you KNOW you're good enough, and you KNOW you CAN do it.
And don't it feel great!
Thanks for taking us with you on your journey and good luck in 2010!!

brilliant blog, and I will keep a jealous eye on your progress to do the etape next year ---
I have told my onoclogist he's got to get me well enough to see the time trial in Bordeaux .. . that's my personal goal for next year's tour.
Hey Suze,
I read your blog - shit news :-( With all my heart, I wish you the very best of luck with your goal for next year. If you look on my new blog, there is a video of some of the Etape route - the scenery is breathtaking. I hope you get to ride out over there in 2010 as well.
Jez,
Thanks for the comment - glad you enjoyed the journey :-)
