    Story

    I do not usually enter into challenging activities to raise money for charities as I feel having my own health issues to conquer any extreme sport I sign up to is for a personal reason. However, on this occasion a friend asked me if I would like to try and cycle 100 miles in one day? Never having cycled beyond 42 miles in one day before (and that was just recently) I've decided to have a go. We have been trying to prepare for the event over the last few weeks; the event will be very challenging both mentally & physically as I never know from one day to the next how I am going to be with my health.
    So, here is my plan, cycle 100 miles, sign up 100 sponsors to raise £100. Not a fortune I know but means that I am not asking you to dig very deep as this equates to only £1 per person, but if you would like to give more...that's entirely your decision.
    The cycle group organising the event on 24th June 2017 (yes, my birthday...) is raising money for a charity that provides cancer outpatients undergoing Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy treatment, a free of charge transport service to & from the Northern Center for Cancer Care at the Newcastle Freeman Hospital.

    The date is now less than a month away so time is running short so any support will be gratefully received. Thanks in advance Chris

      Smashed it! 103.5 miles. 9 1/2 hrs moving time. Wind horrendous. Absolutely knackered, hurting so much but grinning from ear to ear. What a way to spend my birthday 🥂 raised to date £300 😎 thanks to everyone for their support.

      I would just like to thank everyone for their support and sponsorship for a very good cause; with this site and a sponsor form I have exceeded my target. For anyone who has not yet donated and would like to do so, it's not to late. Thanks again

      Well with only 4 more sleeps I'm feeling very anxious but with an element of excitement, just like the old days when I used to enter long distance walking challenges. The longest cycle I have done was two weeks ago where 3 of us completed 66 miles in cool, showery weather & then on my own 50 miles in wind and heat, two very different days; shorter mileage also cycled in the last month but with lots of hills. Anyway time has run out for any more cycle training and what will be on the day will be. PMA!
