<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">This year I decided to take on two challenges.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">In September I cycled 77 miles off road across the South Downs at night. I think I may have underestimated the hills and found it a real struggle for the last third of the challenge. That said I managed to complete it in 10 hours 31 minutes.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">I have completed the 2010 challenge with Hellrunner. Despite the icy cold conditons on the day, I managed to finish in a time of 1 hour 34 minutes which is two minutes faster than 2009.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Why am I doing this? Good question. I raised over &pound;800 for Cancer Research UK last year and want to do better this year. I appreciate that you get asked to support charity events every year which is why I am increasing the events that I am doing and pushing myself to my absolute maximum.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;">Your support really is appreciated</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">If you wish to learn more about the eventsI have completed this year have a look:</span></p> <p><a href="http://www.hellrunner.co.uk"><span style="color: #800080;">www.hellrunner.co.uk</span></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.trailbreak.co.uk/maxx_exp/"><span style="color: #800080;">http://www.trailbreak.co.uk/maxx_exp/</span></a></p>
