Riding a bike way further than I ought to
Sunday, July 5th, 2009
Next Sunday I’m planning to ride a bike from Manchester to Blackpool. It’s the Manchester to Blackpool bike ride in aid of Christie’s. I decided to take part way too near the date, so I’m woefully ill prepared. My cousin is also giving it a go, so it should be fun. He’s less prepared than I am, but he’s way more in shape than I am. Fun….Hmmmm. It’s only sixty miles!
I’ve been practising (a bit) and I think it’s doable.
This all developed after a recent trip to San Francisco where I rediscovered my fondness for cycling. I am extremely out of condition and see it as a great way of getting in shape.
I think I’ll have a go at the Cheshire 100 in September too. I’ll post more about the journey after the event.
