Hopefully OK to put this on here, if not then please remove.
I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was doing a sponsored bike ride of 220 miles during April hopefully raising a few quid for Diabetes UK. My main reason for doing this challenge is for personal one, as I need to lose a few pounds and a few inches off of my waist and get fit for riding in motorbike trials this year. So in January I bought a mountain bike with the view of cycling a few miles a week to help me lose some weight and get a little fitter. Anyway I saw this challenge advertised a week or two after buying the bike and signed up to do 220 miles in April, as it meant then that I would have to get off my Arse and do a few miles to get myself fit enough to be able cycle the 220 miles. January I managed to cycle 100 miles. February I cycled 170 miles, March my goal was to cycle 200 miles, but I managed 240 miles. April hopefully I can reach my target of the 220 miles, but time will tell. I went out this morning after I finished my shift and done 21 miles so only another 199 to go :-) I'm on nightshift tonight, then on shift from 09:00 on Saturday until 09:00 on Monday, so hopefully I can do 20 or 30 miles tomorrow, then maybe another 20 or 30 miles next week before I go back on shift on Thursday for 4 days & nights.
If your interested then you can follow my progress on facebook, I've made the relevant posts public :
