Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Here we go again!

The History

May 2017 saw my first attempt at a cycling sportive - London Ride the Night 100K - having not partaken in anything more physical than getting off the sofa to make a cup of tea for years!!

We (Claire Penny and I) picked that ride as my first event as it was a women-only race, aimed at all levels from beginners to elite.  I only hoped I would not be totally out of my depth, and would make it to the end.  I was nervous and excited.  It was both exhausting and exhilarating, an amazing achievement for us both - and now I'm hooked.

This Year's Challenge

So in another 'mad' moment we have signed up to cycle 240 miles from London to Paris in three days, commencing 6th September, and have until end of June to raise sponsorship funds.

Now in possession of my awesome new road bike training for the ride and planning for some fun fundraising events has begun. This is where you come in.  Your support by taking part in some of our events, and your generous donations, will not only benefit the charities we are supporting, but will also go a long way to helping us stay motivated through our training - it's going to be hard work, but we can do it!
