Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've decided to don my rather fetching cycling outfit and attempt this challenging cycle ride.   When I was asked to do this by one of my mates, I thought it would be a gentle ride out across the local countryside for an hour or two.  How wrong I was!    It turns out that I have to cycle 75 miles cross country from London to Brighton- in one day.... According to their website:- 

You will need to be a strong cyclist to be able to complete this event so we suggest you train well and carefully assess your ability before taking on this event.

Ride statistics
Distance
- 120km / 75 miles. Height - 1,220 metres or 4000ft of climbing
Rider ability – Intermediate/Experienced
Rider numbers –750 maximum. Route – Undulating and somewhat technical


As all of you know, I like a challenge but I wonder if my 16 stone bulk will allow me to complete this one.

So I really need your support.  If we can raise £1,000 for the British Heart Foundation, I know that I will not allow myself to stop.  When I’m thinking of getting off and walking or stopping at the nearest train station or B&B, instead of giving in I will be thinking of the sponsors and all the good that your money will do for the charity.    Please give generously and remember to tick the gift aid box.

Thanks everyone.
