But why really?

I've said stuff about mid-life crisis, which may be true(ish).

Certainly the charity is a worthwhile cause. Incidently I should point out that all the donations go to honeypot, not buying my bike or for my accomodation or anything. Some people were a bit confused by that. I am going on an adventure - the charity doesn't pay for that.

Truth is that I think I just need the challenge. We take kids out to do the Duke of Edinburgh award every year - the ethos of which is challenge. I started questioning myself because of this.

Not really sure when I was last challenged. This is a problem - there seems to be something missing. Don't get me wrong - I love my wife and family. I am blessed with having a job that I don't dread going to on Mondays, but my life is in danger of becoming a cozy, comfortable existence. You need challenge to appreciate living.

So I ask you a simple question - when was the last time in your adult life that you took on something that you were not sure that you could actually do?

Been a while for me too...
