  1. Well we did it! Haven't been out for a ride since, and now I'm full of cold just as an added bonus!
  2. http://twitpic.com/iqgdr Is this what I should wear for my ride?
  3. £525 raised so far! We are over the moon with our current total! But still want more! Credit crunch or not... Give us your dosh! Please XXX
  4. £470 raised plus over £100 extra from gift aid! Absolutely amazing folks... But we still want more! Our target is £650, so £130 to go!
  5. I get my bike back from the shop tomorrow... Just a quick service and the rear brake bled. All ready for our ride now! 60+ miles tomorrow!
  6. Really sore legs today! Feel great though, actually starting to look forward to our charity ride!
  7. Been a while, did 51.1 miles this afternoon in 5h and 3 seconds! Quite impressed with myself really!
  8. 26 miles in the wet wet wet weather! Got rid of the dust from the bike though! Did cover me in mud from head to toe though!
  9. Almost time to go to work! Silly bees needing feeding at the weekend!
  10. 22.5 miles in just over 2 hours! Lots of hills though... And helped a fellow cyclist in his hour of need (flat tyre and no pump!)
  11. Sore legs from last nights ride, and a fire alarm to greet me at work! Haven't had my coffee yet!
  12. Pink Lycra! What will you all think off next?
  13. 21 miles on Sunday in 2h11 and the reverse route on Monday in 1h53! Lots more riding to come, many more updates to follow!
  14. Busy in the day job studying Bee Microbiology! Trying to work out what happens when all the bad bacteria gang up on the poor bees!
