Training Ride on part of New Forest Sportive course

Intro

You know how you have these ideas that at the time seem really good. 

Well putting in an entry to do Ride London was certainly one of these. To really compound the issue we even told friends what we had done, making sweeping statements like; ".............if we don't get into Ride London we will do another 100 mile sportive." 

So we appear to be committed now, or perhaps we should be! All for good causes though, we will be raising money for Alzheimer's Society and SSAFA (Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association). So watch this space for details of how you can donate.

We will find out in February whether we have a place in Ride London and will then set up a donation web page.

Not wanting to fail dismally or be overtaken by the pros it is time to get in some miles over the winter which will mean braving the elements and getting out there on the bikes. 

Talking of bikes I have restored my road bike and we have treated Kathy to a brand new bike. Thanks to Gary at Bikewokx in Bournemouth for all his help on both counts.

Keep looking at the blog as Kathy and I will be posting progress of our training along with photos and comments we will probably come to regret.
