Hi Everyone,

This year (12th May) we have decided to take on the extended route of the Thames Bridges bike ride........ 50 miles in my 50th year seems rather appropriate! I know I don't look anything like 50 but that'll be down to the way I look after myself, you know plenty of fresh air and exercise and of course a good diet!

I know Bill, Giles and Keri have already put in 100's if not 1000's of miles training for the event but I've relied more on my spinning classes and the occasional real bike experience!

Just invested in some clipless pedals and cycling shoes at the weekend..................only fell off 3 times on my first ride trying to get my feet out of the pedals!! Still hoping the London roads will not be too dangerous.........

If you fancy sponsoring me then please do, but don't spend all your money just yet as I have the London to Brighton off-road later in the year!
