I had a conversation one day about a Charity bike ride. It was over 55 miles and was being held to raise money for the Force cancer charity. Somehow the conversation became a commitment that I was in. My first problem arose when I discovered my old bike had all sorts of faults, should I buy a new one? Yes I should, but my boyish spirit kicked in and I decided to do what I did as a lad and re-build it. Three months later it was finished after many many problems and bit failing.
The day of the ride arrived we had done one practice ride of about 34 miles and that was it. A horrible day, rain, wind and it was freezing, well it was June after all.
To cut a very long story short we completed the ride and were all very happy about it. My last charity bike ride was about twenty years ago, I was over the moon to finish this one I can tell you. Part of my new Life will be to do more challenges like this, wish me luck.
My friends pictured are Ann and Will, well done Guys....
