London - Cambridge Ride (Preview)

All

Doing the London-Cambridge ride this Sunday, 25th July, 2010., for Breakthrough Breast Cancer It is a 60 mile route and is supposed to be a very scenic route. I have a 10 mile ride to the Starting point, hence making it a total distance of around 70 miles for the day.

The weather forecast for the day is supposed to be hot at 26 Degrees Celsius. Out come the sun block cream guess..!

If anyone else doing the ride please feel free to comment on this message and we could perhaps catch up at the venue or at the finish line.

More news to follow soon. Watch this space....

London - SouthEnd Bike Ride - Report

Awesome day - An awesome ride. My first long distance outer city ride, and it was a good one.

Cycled to Victoria park which was around 8 miles and a bit from my place over at Marlybone high street. The ride to the park was a great ride through the city of London. Great time to be out in the city, especially being a Sunday and before 7:00 AM..!

Cross training

Been running to work since this week, in preparation for the London triathlon, as i am doing the 10K run for the team. - The Bishopsgate Broncos..!

Cross training seems to be taking its toll, as my shoulders are not in its best state, and i am in slight discomfort across my shoulder area. But would want to keep up the running, at least until the triathlon, taking place on the 8th of August. Details in my earlier post, below.

London to SouthEnd - This Sunday (Preview)


Alright ppl, it is finally nearing the day i would be doing my first long distance ride - London to SouthEnd. It seems to be a gentle ascent course of 61 miles, from Victoria park in the east end of London to Priory Park in SouthEnd.

To take it another notch, i plan to EVEN CYCLE BACK the entire distance.! this would off course depend on my health and fitness conditions as well as mental fatigue.

Watch this space for latest news and updates about the ride, including pictures, routes and the clatter..!
