London to Brighton Charity Ride - feeling fit???

<< < (8/11) > >>

dinglem:
Just posted an update on a thread Chownie has started on this, but the time is counting down to L2B 2016 now..... training is a little behind schedule but we're definitely getting there. I have almost completed my Brum WHEELS build for the actual ride (just brakes to fit) and I have a vintage lid as well.

My sister has also entered and has been told by her employer that they will match her final sponsorship total so I am cheekily adding the link to her sponsorship site on here in case any of you guys are feeling at all generous. All for a great cause chaps and any small donation will be very much appreciated as it will have course end up being doubled :daumenhoch:

Cheers Mart.

Well we're still getting the odd RADster signing up for this.... can I tempt anybody else to get involved? Another rider has literally just joined our BMX-to-Brighton team....  fistblump

If anybody else is considering this have a look at our Facebook page:-

'CRY Alex' L2B Charity Bike Ride

...or if anybody is feeling generous please go to the AEDdonate link in my previous post. Even the smallest donation could save a life.

Not too long to go to the ride, I'm really looking forward to it.  We got a 30 miler in the other week,  got 15 miles in on Sunday but my girlfriend had a nasty crash and knocked herself out for a few seconds, she's all good now apart from a few bruises and grazes.  Looking forward to seeing you guys there :-)

dinglem:
Yeah - it's getting close now! Glad to hear the training distances are building up, you're well ahead of us at the minute although we are now booked on several local group ride-outs in our area to make sure we put the training in. We're off to south Wales for a weekend of whiskey tasting for our anniversary in a few weeks and Rach has already suggested we take the bikes and go for a ride around the Brecon Beacons the following morning. We're staying at a CAMRA real ale pub so I am not too sure how well that will go, but we shall see!  ???

Not good about the missus having a crash though mate - hope she is ok now?

We will have to post up some means of meeting up at the start. We're staying in Clapham the night before and Brighton the night after (beer!) so hopefully we'll all have the chance to relax before/after the ride itself.

Sounds like you'll get plenty in before the ride :-), and Wales will Be lovely to ride around!  Not sure if you'll be near enough to the Forest Of Dean but there's plenty of cycle tracks around the forest, really nice there.  It's on the border of South Wales. 

Michelles ok now,  just a bit bashed up but it's not out her off although her disc brake is now slightly bent so we have to get that sorted. 

We're hoping to stay the night before, depending on if my mum will have my dog for the night.  Be good to meet up before hand.  I think there's a skatepark in the park so plan on having a ride there before hand, possibly :-)
