THANKFULLY we haven’t been affected by postponements because of the bad weather.

But I know some of our hardy band of cyclists who are taking part in the Pedal 4 Pounds 4 have found their preparations hampered.

It’s been very difficult for people to get out on the roads safely in the past week or more because of the bad weather.

So there might be a few more aching muscles than usual on our Tour of Yorkshire at the beginning of next month.

My own muscles will be included in those, although the nearer we get to the date the more I’m looking forward to meeting everyone again and to getting involved.

The whole event really is for a good cause – we have seen how valuable helicopters of all kinds can be during this bad weather.

So to help keep the Yorkshire Air Ambulance flying is something we can all be very proud about.
