Intro

A couple of years ago, my nephew Ben was born with Cystic Fibrosis, one of the UK's most common life-threatening inherited diseases which affects over 9000 people in the UK, including five new babies every week. It affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, clogging them with thick sticky mucus which makes it hard to breathe and digest food.

To raise funds for the CF Trust, I took on the Nightrider 2012 challenge, a 100km cycle ride through London at night! and raised over £1600.


I'm now tackling the Oxford to Cambridge bike ride in September 2013, this time for the British Heart Foundation, another charity that means a lot to me.


I'd be very grateful if you would sponsor me for this challenge at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/rew. All funds raised go to charity.

Drizzle

I had my first experience of wet weather training this morning.  The last couple of Sunday rides have been lovely bright sunny mornings (though rather cold), but this morning there was a steady, increasing drizzle.

That wouldn't be too bad for many people, but I wear glasses so they kept getting progressively more and more drops on them until I struggled to see so had to wipe them clean each time ready to start over again.

Still, it chucked it down for the rest of the day so I'm glad I got out as early as I did!
