2022 RideLondon-Essex 100

All smiles after some glorious rides in the sun today. Two more rides before Ride London - last high intensity session (thank goodness!) and a local charity sportive. Then, it is the big one! Nightmare logistics to get in my 'Wave Pen' for 0700 on a Sunday morning in the centre of London!

Some hard miles today; 62 miles done, with the first half in the drizzle/rain. Welcomed the Cycling Club coffee and doughnut as I tried to dry out! Three weeks to Ride London 100!

What a difference a bit sun makes! Another 60+ miles this week but tempered with the thought that Ride London is only 4 weeks away now. Very grateful for your all your sponsorship - under a £100 now to hit my target of a £1000 - the size of a Trust grant for a small expedition. Please help if you can.

Managed to get 3 rides in over the Easter break - some 75 miles. Thankfully, the temperature is increasing and now in shorts, albeit with a long sleeved top! 6 weeks to go to Ride London 100!

Another cold start on Saturday (-3 deg with windchill) and another 60+ mile ride completed! Bumped into a fellow club cyclist whose electronic gear mechanism was dying and stayed with him to a local cafe - for a welcome bacon roll and coffee. Seven weeks to Ride London 100 ...
