4th October 2010

So I made it!!! Can you believe that??? And very surprisingly I had no physical pain at all today!!! Now I really deserve a proper road bike!!! ;-) 

Despite all the rain and the wind (I love British weather!), I cycled for 90.29 miles!!! For not-British friends, that means 145.28km!!! Sorry now I want to show off and prefer to stick with the amount in km!!! I went through beautiful countryside from Oxford to Cambridge! Highly recommended...better with some sunshine! ;-) 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND DONATION! I could not make it without you!!! 

Love, Valentina

Dedication: I am riding for my dad! :-)

I know, I know. I told you I would wait for a while before taking another charity bike ride...and in fact I did!

Last time was late May (when we raised money for a school in Malawi, http://www.ganetsadventureschool.org/?p=273), so it is now time for a new challenge!!!

There is an Italian saying which sounds like "There is no number 2, if not followed by 3!" (sorry for the poor literal translation, but I think you got it!).

So...I will go ahead with my third charity bike ride of the year!!! This time I will raise money for the British Heart Foundation.

Indeed it is gonna be very-very-very demanding for me, and I really need all your support! 

I am taking a 89 miles ride! Yes, you got it right, no typos...89 miles!!! That is going from Oxford to Cambridge...bit scary, isn't it?...did not seem so long by train!!! 

So I did some advanced statistical calculations to work out the amount in kilometers and see whether it would look any better...well, let's stick with the 89 British miles!!! 

The ride is on this Sunday the 3rd Oct, not a long time to go!, so I tried to set up a feasible target, and I hope to reach it with your help. 

I promise I will push myself as much as I can! 

Thank you for your support and any money you like to donate to the British Heart Foundation. 

Love, Valentina
