The weather isn’t
brilliant at the moment so perhaps it was best I couldn’t go out, but it was
still frustrating – particularly as the dates have now been set for the second
coming of the team!
Last year April was
mainly lovely weather, probably the best month of the year, while in June –
when we first tried to complete the C2C bike ride – it was one of the wettest
on records.
This year I’m hoping the
poor weather so far in April is a sign that come late June and early July, we’ll
have at least acceptable weather to ride the route.
Even if we don’t I’ve
set the four day course to ensure we have shorter riding days and should be
able to complete it within the time frame – subject to a lot of crossed fingers
and toes plus touching wood and carrying as many lucky charms as possible!
Of course the most
important thing, apart from our safety, is raising money for Cancer Research UK. I know many people have donated and every penny is gratefully received, but
if you could spread the word to all your friends and family we can together
make it to the target figure of £1,000.
Those wishing to spread
the word or donate to the Cancer Research cause can
do so using my Just
Giving donation page
So when
will training begin in full? I suspect it’ll be the last couple of weekends in
April when things start properly and from then on it’ll be using the light
nights for short to medium rides and the weekends for 20-30 mile rides around
west Cheshire.
Images of
training and the views seen while out riding will go up in future post for this
blog, but any comments, tips and words of encouragement are welcome.
