THE BEGINNING

This year it's time to challenge myself again and hopefully raise money for a charity close to my heart, Cancer Research UK.

Two years after the nine month fundraising stint following the FA Cup from start to finish, this time the challenge will be a little more physical.

On June 22nd I will be joined by Sarah's brother, Pads, and our neighbours Jonny and Neil, to ride the C2C from Whitehaven to Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

We hope to complete the 140 or so miles in three days, camping for the two nights either side of a night in our start point, Whitehaven, and finish in Newcastle.

The training regime has started today and will include a variety of exercises with football, running, badminton and of course cycling taking up regular weekly action.

The plan for me is as follows:

Monday - football
Tuesday - 15 miles on bike
Wednesday - 5k running
Thursday - badminton
Friday - rest
Weekend - 25 miles on bike (going up by 5 miles per week)

I'll be updating this blog regularly with how the regime is going and update the money raised.

Finally here's the motley crew in the team.
