WHAT:

On the 19th June we will be embarking on the 54mile bike ride from London to Brighton, and now is the time to ask for your support towards our charity - The British Heart Foundation.

 

WHY:

If  you or someone close to you has ever had a heart condition, you'll know a bit about how important the BHF are and how they can help. Not only do they ensure quality care and support for everyone living with heart disease, but they also undertake pioneering research and vital prevention activity to work towards a future where premature heart disease is a thing of the past. 

We are doing this not only for our family members who are suffering or at risk of heart disease, but also for everyone else, including ourselves who may be at risk in the future. Not wanting to create too much of a desperate plea, but your money really can make a difference for all of us. 

 

HOW:

For the last few months we have been doing (a small amount of/probably not enough) training in order to build up our stamina for the mega ride, and we will be stepping this up in the weeks leading up to the big day. 

A few weeks ago we completed a 32mile ride from London to Essex in 3 hours, and are hoping to improve on this 10mph speed!! This ride was a good indication of how many times we'll need to stop and how well our own hearts will hold up over the 54 mile ride!

We think it should be achievable to aim for around the 4.5-5.5 hour window for the London to Brighton ride... That is considering that the climb up Ditchling Beacon near the end doesn't finish us off! (Ditchling Beacon is the third highest point on the South Downs at stands at 270m) ...hmmm maybe we should do some more training?! (Good job the BHF will be nearby!)

We'll upload some photos from the day once we've completed it, and for training and on-the-day updates please follow @ _raerae on Twitter.

Thanks for donating!
