Welcome to Rachele's Cyclevolution - Update: Although the original target was to become a sexy cyclist in Paris (approx. 300 km in 3 days) - the current target is to arrive to Paris in once piece.

Now it's time for a bit of fun and a cyclist's joke..

Q. Do you know what is the hardest part of learning to ride a bike?

A. The pavement.

February's Preparation Update: The good, the bad and the ugly! The good, it was great to have snow in London...The bad, I need more sun and less sub-zero temperatures in order to start my training...The ugly, if I continue at this rate I will experience real physical pain in June! :)

 

March's Preparation Update: If I had trained as many times as I said "Tomorrow I will cycle to work" I would probably be ready for the Olympics. I promise I will say less and do more in April.

April's Preparation Update:  Wall of fame, wall of blame or wall of shame? After a marathon runner overtook me while I was cycling, I went in complete denial, blamed by hybrid bike and decided to buy a road bike, so I'm now learning how to cycle again with slim wheels! :)

Mays's Preparation Update: The story of 136m and a puncture. The highlight of this month was going to Switzerland, where I tried to break my legs by bungy-jumping from a gondola (not for charity) but I'm still here, so looks like I am still going to cycle to Paris...also got my first puncture. Stupid glass.

Junes's Preparation Update: I liked Rich....mond Park, I loved Kent...the Great Kent, cycling that is..all those moments of joy are now forgotten - 2 days to Paris and I am unlikely to update this again as my brain is frozen with fear! 

I hope you have enjoyed reading...any donation will be much appreciated and it will help me in achieving the target for Sense...the more the merrier!
