Cycle Challenge

Just thought I would add a little update for those that wished me luck for getting a place in the Ride London 100

Unfortunately today I had confirmation that my application was unsuccessful

But hey ho will try not to take it too personally as at least 34,999 other people also share my disappointment

Still there is always next year so will continue to train and improve in preparation

Iv`e been looking at some BHF rides.I was quite tempted by the London to Brighton night ride and as I`m also a keen mountain biker there also the London to Brighton off road event in September.

A couple of friends have done a Coat to coast and the Isle of Wight sportive, both of which appeal , too.

I think Mountain biking will come in handy retep as I hear there is a pretty nasty hill at the end of the London to Brighton.

I may attempt the London to Cambridge again as I missed that last year as it was the week after I tried ''Tarmac diving''

Have signed up to a few Charity & Sportive rides for this year so lots of riding to look forward too.

Still working on a plan to get into Ride London 100 just the minimum sponsorships required are a tad hefty But can full appreciate why they are set so

My brother did this one last year and said he really enjoyed it:

Which sportives are you planning to do?

I must admit apart from a extremely muddy mountain bike ride 2 weekends ago, and a couple of road rides I have done very little cycling so far this year.

I might have to get the mountain bike out this weekend,snow depending!

I had a look at the web site Retep & it looks like a good weekend of riding. Certainly one to consider.

I am planning to do two rides for Pilgrims Hospice in May & June & Wiggle Sportive in April all road rides. I have not got a mountain bike yet think I might be a tad too Kamikaze for that type of ride after watching the Olympics

Also have volunteered to help out on three sportives not sure what that will entail but I thought it could be fun

Link to a recent post also now on the Events page if anyone would like to meet up in London on the 3rd August
