Solo Ride

Today I was suposed to go on a bike ride at 3 but didn't feel like it because I wanted to have a chill-out day. So my dad went on a ride with Will, Scott, James and Motzi. But then at 4 I decided to go on a ride by my self.

I went over the dam, up to Bira, down past a University, then back over the dam again. The wind was in my face for most of the way but I managed to get an average speed of 19.9km/h and a top speed of 56.2km/h.

I met my mum and sisters in different spots on my route but beat them to the 7/11 which was cool!!!
Don't forget to donate!!

Queen of the hill!

Wow! I did it! I'm Queen of the hill. I missed it the other day by 1 second, so today I gave it another go. I beat my time by 4 seconds so am Queen of the hill. I was so tired but still did it! Yay!
Great ride with Motzi.

Training with Strava.

Went around the lake today and managed to do it faster, probably because I have an app called Strava where you can do segments and get a "trophy" if you're the fastest out of all the people that try to do the segment.

I got second out of female riders in one of the segments. I missed it by one second!

Overall I am 11th and I beat Jon Crew so that's awesome! 

Computers

The reason I am doing this ride is to raise money to buy new computers for the Deaf school because they exploded when a snake got in to the transformer box. You can read the emali to my Dad from Khun Toy.

Dear Mr. Mulford,

What a wonderful message.  You must be so proud of your daughter, Poppy.
She is such a big heart person at very very young age.  Her kindest donation toward YOK is tremendously amazing and has helped the girl for her monthly education until a couple more years.

Early last week, the main transformer at the Orphanage blew up causing a lot of burnt down in the main server and many computers gone ashtrays, including many at the School for Deaf.
We will need to spend so much money in restore all the damages.  The cause of all these troubles came from a snake make a short circuit on the electric wires next to the transformer, or dear.

We managed to get the electricity back the day after but some computers system were damaged, luckily mind is still all right as I am on the different phase.
However, our computer people have been very very busy fixing all the damaging ones and we need to buy many new replacement of servers and computers.
May I asking permission to announce that this Poppy’s Challence Cycle to Laos Support the School for Deaf entire new computer, Sir ?

Kindly convey our heartfelt appreciation to Poppy for her second challenge to help the less fortunate.
May God Bless Her Always.
Sincerely yours,
Toy 

Training with Will Neylon.

The plan was to do 40km but I didn't feel like it because I came back at 11pm last night from the Sports Dinner where I won a medal for best team of the year and I won the girls swimmer of the year award.

Today with Will I went up to Bira on the main road but changed routes because we couldn't cross the road. So we went down some country lanes and managed to do a figure of eight.

With an average speed of 18kmph I ended up doing 35km which wasn't too hard. But wasn't fast enough to keep up with Will because he is Will and he is part of the DAFT OCTOPUS!!!

Training ride with Motzi, James and Scott.

Rode up to Bira circuit today with Motzi, Scott Fairly and James Gray.

Had a good average speed of 20 kmph.

Cycled 23km.

Scott is cycling around the world in his holidays and so far has reached Japan, whilst I'm cycling to Laos he will be cycling the rest of Japan. He started his journey in Bangkok when I began my T2T Challenge in October of 2013, so 1 year and 5 months ago. We cycled together for one day and then as he was faster he went on ahead through Cambodia into Vietnam. Then on later holidays he cycled Vietnam, China, Korea and has left his bike in Japan. Amazing!

I've started training again!

I have started training again and have gone out a few times with Mark Loader and James Gray. Been up to Bira and along the highway at some points! It's going to be a tough 600 km challenge, but I'm going to keep going!

NEVER   GIVE   UP!!!

I am doing this as part of my Make it Right project at school and have been doing some bake sales to raise money (B200,000) to buy computers and a printer for the Deaf School.

We will set off on the first day of the Songkran Holiday - 4th April. We hope to complete the distance in 8 days by cycling 80km each day.

This time both my dad and mum will cycle with me as well as maybe 2 other members of staff. I asked my friends if they would come too but it looks like it will be just me.
