London Ride 100 route

Thought I'd put up the route that I'm riding in the summer. It mirrors the London 2012 Olympic road race, except it starts from the Olympic Stadium in Stratford.
Looking forward to riding on closed roads through the city, nervous about Box Hill!

Olympic Park Run 2013

Very excited, managed to get a place on the National Lottery Olympic Park run 2013 on 21st July. 5 mile course around redeveloped Olympic Park, finishing back in the Olympic Stadium with 300m on the track.
I did last years event, which was the first event in the stadium. Looking forward to follow literally in the footsteps of the Olympians and Paralympics stars of 2012.
00:58.25 mins for 5 miles to beat.

What I'm doing and Why.

On Sunday 4th August I will be taking on the challenge of riding 100 miles through London and  out into the Surrey countryside, following a course used for the London 2012  Olympic road race.

The Prudential Ride London 100 ride is part of a weekend of cycling activities in London , including a UCI professional road race following my ride later in the day.

I will be riding for Macmillan Cancer Care and I am aiming to raise over £1000 to support their valuable work.

I will be blogging as I train for this event and try to get in shape. This WILL be a real challenge for me and I hope you clan support me as I take on the road to London in 2013.

Pictures from evening ride

Thought I'd keep my blog updated with any interesting pics on my road to the Ride London 100. Pictures from the top of Eglwysilan.

Move'in Mountains

Sometimes you don't no why you thought that you might not get out on your bike. I'm able to come up with a million excuses. But I'm so glad I bothered this evening.
 Headed out in gloomy weather, as I got going the clouds melted away and left me with great views from the top of Eglwysilan over Pontypridd, Tonteg and back towards Taffs Well. 
The views were well worth the climb up.
Lesson learnt, get out on your bike, and enjoy!

Start of blog
