Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
After recently getting back in the saddle I thought it was time to put all my hard work to use and take on a challenge to push myself and at the same time raise some money for a very worthy charity. The whole route is 50km, or 31miles in 'old money' ....... i've not cycled this far yet so I don't think it's going to be easy, but hopefully will be worth it when I get to the end ..... I may walk funny for a few days though.
I know things are tight for everyone at the moment, but this is going towards a VERY worthwhile charity. Any donation however small will be very gratefully received.

I've been out training today and managed 17.5 miles. It was very windy which made it much harder work and it's dawned on me that this ride is going to be a bigger challange than I thought. Much more training is going to be a must to hit the target. All of your sponsorship is pushing me on and every pound donated is very very much appreciated.

Had another decent run out today. Managed 18.5 miles today which is an improvement on last week. Managed an average of 14.59mph which means i'm getting closer to my 15mph avergage target. It was a little easier today even though it was still windy. Hopefully I can get some miles in during the week and get my speed up. As always your sponsorship is very much appreciated and helps to keep me going.

Well only three days to go. I'm feeling very excited now. I managed a 20 mile cycle ride at the weekend which went quite well ..... i'm not sure my backside agrees though !! I'm now keeping my fingers crossed for dry weather ..... I think a quick trip to Halfords might be in order for a waterproof cycling jacket just in case. Many thanks for everyone's support so far you have been great. There's still time for sponsorship. I'm now hoping I can double my original target and raise £200.00. This will mean A LOT to Farleigh Hospice.
Here's the boring bit .........
