Title: British Heart Foundation Charity Cycle Ride
Post by Robzere31 on Jun 2^nd, 2011, 1:39pm

Hi all, long time no see. ;D

I've recently entered for the 50 mile Worcestershire BHF charity ride on 26th June 2011.
I will also be riding to & from the event so I'm hoping to complete my first 100 miles in a day ride.

This is my first charity ride raising money for a worthy cause & hoping it's not my last.
The ride will be tracked live via my bike GPS & recorded so everyone can see how it's going & to prove the distance was covered etc.

If you have a spare moment, please visit my sponsor page.
Any donations will be much appreciated.

Hi guys,

Just a quick update to say my 100 mile ride is this weekend

Glad to report, training has gone well these last few weeks, & so far I've raised £111, plus a further £24 in gift aid.
Looks like the weather will be ok, 26c & 10mph winds forecast atm.

Hi all,

just to let you al know the ride went great today.
Completed 102.5 miles in 5 hours 44 mins, average speed of 17.9 mph.

Weather was stupidly hot though, got a great tan on the plus side though. :P

Once again many many thanks to everyone who made donations & offered words of support & advice.
So far it's looking like I should manage to raise around £200.
