Well I'm off on Monday for my Velindre bike challenge, 5 says of cycling 515km, packed and raring to go. Just hope all those hill climbs pay off. Won't be out on Sunday Ron!

Best of luck, keep us informed if you can!

Well that has certainly crept up a bit quickly. Maybe not for you though ;)
All the very best, try to enjoy every mile

The hills will still be there when you return and t's your turn to buy the calorie free choc cake.

SO - Any news on how everything went ?

I've done it and enjoyed every minute of it, got back yesterday after spending 4 days after the challenge in the Big Apple. Day 4 was the hardest, up at 5 to catch 6.30 ferry, 1.30 hours later arrive in New York State and cycle 87 miles to next stop, and 72 miles in the hills kicked in, just glad I trained, apart from a hand splint all good. Had a police escort across Beoklyn Bridge and everyone was cheering, amazing feeling, got my first medal too, special because it's off Velindre, all told over 2 weeks we raised over £600,000 which is what this challenge was all about. THANK YOU to all who supported, much appreciated xxx

Fantastic effort and a wonderful total raised for a very worthy course.
Bet it was nice to kick back and take in the sights after so many miles in the saddle 8)
