Thanks lots of reasons really. After losing half my body weight over the last 2 years I needed to get fit again and cycling seemed the thing to do it (at my pace) Im not one for the gym or the likes so it was the best option. A few of my friends had signed up for the challenge ride and I seen it as an opportunity to set myself yet another goal granted I only had ever done 18 miles max with an average of 10mph till sunday so it was going to be a challenge alright! But I did better than I ever thought possible 50 miles in 4hrs and 11mins with an average of 11.5mph over the moon!
