My target 100 mi

I have signed up to the Your 100 challenge and will be completing 100 miles this May to raise money for life-saving cancer research in Yorkshire.

In Yorkshire, every 17 minutes someone is told they have cancer. Yorkshire Cancer Research exists so that more people can live longer, healthier lives, free of cancer.

As an independent charity, Yorkshire Cancer Research funds vital research in our region and pioneers new and innovative services for people with cancer. These life-giving medical breakthroughs are helping more people survive cancer – in Yorkshire, and beyond.

Please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can, no amount is too small to make a difference. Thank you.

100 miles long!

Wednesday 31st May

With tonnes of help from an amazing group of friends I blooming well did it! My first 100 miles on a bike EVER! Plenty of beautiful Yorkshire countryside to keep me enthused and lovely company to shield me from the wind making it all very do-able. Thank you to everyone who sponsored me too - we have raised over £36,000 this month doing thousands of miles to save lives in Yorkshire. THANK YOU!

Sunday 21st May

Today was the planned day for the big 100 but due to losing a few training days to a bug, I’ve moved it to next Sunday. Fingers crossed the weather stays as perfect!

Longest training ride yet!

Saturday 13th May

Yesterday was the 70 mile training ride and it was surprisingly OK. Mud, wind and a few close passes on the negative side but lovely friends (Colette, Clare and Jason), an enormous scone and a second cafe stop made it bearable! 8 days to go until the big one…. Gulp!

Training a bit harder!

Tuesday 2nd May

Managed the first half recce for the big 100 in three weeks time - 54 miles and only got lost twice! Second half practice next week - this time without the headwind please!

Two months to go....

Wednesday 22nd Mar

Coming out of winter (and too much indoor cycling) always feels tough, especially when a ride is windy - today's effort was 20 miles and I am shattered! This does not bode well but fingers crossed for significant improvement!
