Wow what a crazy two weeks it has been! The bike that I'll be riding to Yorkshire is here, and I've been training with it. What a difference carrying a load on the back makes, it really does! Previously I had been cycling without a load. Pulling up hills is definately harder!
Media coverage of the forthcoming event has also shot through the roof, with doing an interview for Radio Gibraltar today and have been working very closely with the Gibraltar Society for Cancer Relief who are pulling out all the stops to get local covereage here to raise awarness for what I'm doing, which will ultimately encourage more people to sponsor and raise more money for this great cause!
The charity ride has also been mentioned today on the local South Yorkshire radio station, Hallam FM.
With all this going on, getting time to train has been tough! But I've been managing some, and getting out into the mountains in Spain in hot July temperatures. It read 42c on the cycle computer the other day whilst cycling up to Gaucin. It was tough work - very little shade, but I made it and I'm getting myself fitter and fitter and ready to take on this imense challenge!
