And we're off!
Thank you so much to everyone who's sponsored me: you rock, and I was the first rider to hit the target. This is my once-only-evah charity ride, so thank you all for being so generous and I promise not to come after you again. :-)
(To anyone who hasn't sponsored me and wants to do so: the target isn't a maximum so don't feel inhibited!)
It's a really worthwhile cause, and importantly, the running costs of the ride are covered elsewhere. This means every penny I raise goes directly to the charity, so you are not sponsoring me to go on holiday!
See you in a week's time - wish me luck and follow me on Twitter @liz_norman or on the TRAT blog: http://bishopsimeontrust.wordpress.com/
