Three Men Ride Again.
On friday night, three of those that will be riding through London were together to have a training ride on some hills. to make sure that we were fit enough as there is very little time left to train. Although quite a short ride at just 8.54 miles, it was quite hilly which is good …
Psychological Barrier Broken
Today I attempted the big one. I know in my mind that once I have passed the 45 mile barrier, no matter what the distance, I can manage the target I have set. So today I set off for Portsmouth with the intention of crossing both the harbour and my invisible barrier. The weather was …
Run Forest Run
The next stage in my training regime called for a change of pace and direction. Rather than heading east as is my usual direction, I decided to head west and into the New Forest. This also entailed a move away from the flat, distance ride to something more ‘lumpy’!!!! I started with my first attempt …
Hospital Visit Puts A Halt To Training.
Simon check in – ok well this has put a stop to the training. On Saturday morning I was not feeling very well and ended up going to hospital in an ambulance for what is now believed to be an appendix problem. Rather than being out getting a little bit of training in this weekend, …

An Afternoon By The Sea.
Roger Key check in – My next step in the training programme was to manage 25 miles. So todays trip was to Stokes Bay on the coast at Gosport. Its generally a nice ride as it starts and finishes by cycling along the coast. It was a bit cloudy but that’s OK as it can …
One Third Distance
Check in Simon Key – OK so this particular post is a little bit late. I went out on the bike on Sunday morning thinking that I really need to make sure that I had put some miles under my belt. The issue was trying to motivate myself after being ill for a few weeks. …
Brother Mark Joins Brother Roger.
Roger Key check in – Went for a mid-week ride tonight with Mark. It was Mark’s “virgin”ride ride this year so we went for a short one. We did the Titchfield circular which involves Warsash, Hook village, Browndown lake, Titchfield village and back to Warsash. Total of 11 miles with 1:12 hrs in the saddle …
