One long distance ride arranged - check. (see above graphic) - which actually lends itself to achieving the others too!
So the challenge teams of 2 cycling in relay from London to Paris in 24 hours! each team member will cycle around 200miles in total, metaphorically passing the baton from team mate to team mate along the route. Full details of challenge here
The ride is fully supported by Action Challenge and is in aid of Scope.
The sweetener is that the Sunday (which we get to spend in Paris) is the last day of Le Tour which we will get to experience - oh yes another one of thos 101 things to do before you die sorted then!
Again I have teamed up with Simon and our awe inspiring team name is the "Roaring Forties", the roaring bit could be down to our bravado or what our muscles will be doing come July, and the forties bit a reflection of our age!
So personal performance wise, the snow kinda tripped me up last week, but still did around 60 miles, although felt sluggish most days, Wii Fit impressed me this morning telling me it realised i was 39 so well done Nintendo - spot on! Weight came in at 75kg / 165lb so am still 4 lbs above target - that'll come. Hopefully the thaw will set in this week and mileage can consolidate / increase?
In other news TDU starts a next week - looking forward to Sky and the Shack et al performing for the first time.
Lots to write about now so keep checking back for updates.
