Thanks again to everyone who supported me: the good news is that I finished the 35 miles in 4 hours, 42 minutes. It was tough in the heat, and the last 5 miles were the worst, but I cycled up all the hills - I didn't get off and push the bike up the hill, so I'm pretty proud of that.

Thanks to all who have sponsored me: one more week to go, can't wait! just a few more days to get some practice in ....

Thanks for sponsoring me, two more bike rides under my belt: 5 miles on Friday and 10 miles today. Tried not to mind too much when proper cyclists overtook me!

Since my last update I did 5 miles on Sunday, 5 miles after work on Wednesday evening, and 10 miles in the rain and wind today ...
