Over three days in June I will be taking part in a 395km bike ride in the mountains of Slovenia from Ljubljana to Piran which includes 5,949m of climbing!!!!!

Just the thought of this is making my eyes water and other parts of my body wince. Those of you who know me, know that I love doing crazy outdoor adventures and activities for fun, but I don't usually push the boundaries beyond my comfort zone too much... So I think this really will be a tough challenge for me, however, it's all for a great cause, doing a sport that really is (once you've formed a good relationship with that saddle) that I love because it is so much fun and wonderful for your mental health and wellbeing.
