Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I have agreed, in fact requested and won a slot in a much sort after event at work, to ride 360 miles from St Malo to Lille in France (for those who don't know where that is!). The journey starts with an overnight crossing to St Malo, now that should warrant sponsorship on its own, right! THEN we get straight off the ferry and ride 111 miles to start us off...then 98 miles day 2, 74 day 3 and a final 74 miles on day 4.
So that's the challenge, now for why I am doing it... Why am I doing it...???
Well, at school I was never any good at sport, or at least that is what I was made to believe. When I met my sporty husband, I decided I should probably get off the sofa and try and get fit (he can bore you with stories of those early days, if you wish!) and much to both our surprise, I really started to enjoy it and soon started doing more.
After having our daughter last year, I decided I needed to shift the remaining baby weight and started cycling with my dad, the avid cyclist, who at the age of 70 still beats me on every hill and 1 year on I'm managing to get out most weekend and when I can in the week so I thought why not give the Visa Europe annual bike ride a go....
