I have today completed my training and now qualified as a Ride Leader for Sky with British Cycling.

Wednesday 21st May

Have only been swimming Monday and Tuesday, played badmington Sunday night.
Went for my weigh in this evening and lost another 3lb this week making a total of 1stone and 0.5lb of which I am very happy about.

Saturday 17th May

Medway Big Ride! Started off at 08.00 hrs and for the first 18 miles done ok, thought this was going to be a breeze. However, all up hill to the first resting station at 28 miles. This was a well earnt rest. After a few cheese and ham rolls and lots of fluid, set off for the next stage.
The next resting station was at 40 miles by this time I was out of energy, I was starting to hurt and was not looking forward to the last 10 miles, of mostly uphill climb.
After 50+ miles and hurting all over I managed to get to the finish line. Greeted by cheers and my medal. However, I just wanted to curl up and sleep.
After 4hrs and 45 mins of hard cycling time and 5 1/2 hours since we first left the starting line, I felt really good and glad I decided to enter.
