The Tandem Tart Challenge   

The TTC was born in March 2016.  

Before being diagnosed with M.E. in 2013, I had competed in all distances on the back of a tandem, including three 24 hour time trials.  So what better way to have a bit of fun and raise funds for vital research into this devasting condition than to compete in a variety of time trials on the tandem with a different Partner each time.  I thought this challenge would run it's course but here we are in our seventh year having just ridden with Partner number 78 and with a string of potential Partners on the waiting list. 

The Tandem Tart Ten was held again this year on June 25th. An incredible 141 riders, including 28 tandem pairs signed on to compete in this fun event. 

Life remains difficult though, each small achievement comes at a price but I am grateful that I continue to make progress and will never forget those dark days of being housebound.

Please help me continue raising funds for the ME Associations Ramsay Research Fund so that one day we will find a cure.  Thank you.
