Up the ante...

OK... so it seems like the girls are throwing down the gauntlet with their hectic training regimes!!

My excuse of having a mild injury is now starting to wear thin so they say... so it's time for me to up my game!  I regularly cycle 16 miles a day... from home to work and back so this 50 mile thing should be a doddle!!   although I haven't ridden for nearly 2 months (gulp!) and it's so easy to loose fitness after a couple of weeks.

I've had a 3 mile walk today and a mild jog (100 meters - come on.. I'm still slightly injured you know!) and I'm hoping to get some miles under my belt this week as I fire up Strava....

The most IMPORTANT question I have to answer is this....

Stereophonics, the Shires and Erasure or do I randomise!!

Getting serious now...

Well what do you reckon do I look the part lol (take a look at my latest photo in the Gallery). Hubbies stuff just fits but he is complaining I have stretched it in various places..... 

Well I have just done 19 miles averaging 14.1 so getting faster again. My bum is fine however, I've had serious issues with my back. Apparently saddle was not high enough (Thanks Brian)!!. 

I think on day I am going to dose up with painkillers in case it happens again.  I'm not tired but I couldn't ride any further due to the pain. This is not as easy as I thought it would be.....

Learning to Blog.

Well this is me (Louise) learning how to blog:) I have never done one before and probably won't ever do one again unless someone tells me how to get back into here :) 

I'm sending the instructions to Sam to see if she can work it out and let you all know how her training is going. She tells me she is going to attempt 20 miles this weekend and now its on here i think she will be under pressure to do it (lol).

Me on the other hand, i have a child's party to attend so that's my workout for the weekend. No, in all seriousness GOOD LUCK Sam! 

I will be having a ride out at some point as it's getting very close to D day and I need some practice.  I was thinking that doing 9 odd miles a day which I have done for years would mean 50 would be easy...who was i kidding! 25 miles the other week nearly broke me... I defiantly think we will need food halfway! 


So far we have £50 in the pot which is a start but we are about £1250 odd short so come on people you KNOW you want to. Every little really does help.

Love Lou.

Friday 13th..... Going live!!

So today we started to promote this site... a smart move we think!!.. Friday the 13th AND Comic Relief 2015... No competition then!! ;-)
  
We've had our first donations, and they are massively appreciated.

We're hoping to spread the word via Facebook, social media, word of mouth and by any other means possible, so thinking caps are on.

We hope that you can help us spread the word..

Feel free to comment.  Any training advice is greatly appreciated as we suspect chocolate and cake aren't necessarily the food of champions!!

And so it begins....

So we thought this set up a website, do a bike ride and raise some money for a good cause lark was going to be easy.......  It would be a laugh.....  50 miles, yeah, we can do that.. erm....... hello!!

We've been at this now for 6 weeks, finding out the information needed to get this site running, how to make sure any money raised gets to where we want it and figure out all this techy stuff... all without putting 1 foot on a pedal..

Well actually, not strictly true, we've undertaken 1 incredibly wet 3 lap circuit around Grafham water (stopping for the obligatory coffee and cake), a ride from Whittlesey to Ferry Meadows country park and a myriad of cycling trips to school, the pub and areas of interest... Oh and 2 spills causing minimal damage to the bike thankfully, the riders ego less so, and a near collision with a driver with questionable skills (I'm sure a red light means stop)! 

I can see this is going to be easy (ahem!!)
