UPDATE.

We finished the challenge.

It was seriously challenging!!!!

In three days we climbed about 21,000 feet!

Average temperatures were 25 C and we drank our own weight in water...

Thanks for all the donations, see you next year (Once I get the bike surgically removed from my ass).

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

A few of us have been thinking of doing this for a few years...

This is the year we do it!!

 

It's a gruelling three day off road bike event that can be seriously challenging, we've been training for 6 weeks already and still haven't done a ride that's the equivalent of one day of the challenge.

However the first one is this Sunday.

When the weather has been bad (I've been out in snow a couple of times and in heavy rain/strong winds) the going gets extremely tough!

However, this a great cause for local charities via The Argus Apeal and I hope you will be generous.

Thanks for the support.

John
