I'm not as unfit as I thought :-) ... another guy at work went round Kielder on friday (regular rider - does 20 to 30 miles as standard and mountain bikes), his friends do marathons - all found it tough going and were shattered by the end of it too!! They decided it was the 'claggy', muddy texture of the path... I agree - when wet/frozen very hard work! They took about the same length of time as I did.. but reckon it was equivalent of twice as far on the road - I'll go with that!!!
However, I went to Bodypump followed by Bodycombat tonight... totally wrecked at the end of it!! Natalie the instructor says she's going to try and get DW to do an event for me :-)
This is an 'adventure'... a 'once in a lifetime' trip.. it will be a challenge and an amazing experience.. It will provide incredible memories and bring together two people from different generations with different life experiences on a journey together... because of one person they both loved - 'Trudy' ... this trip will be our tribute to her, whislt at the same time raise funds to help others who sadly find themselves in a similar situation..
The Epic Begins....
Alex and I will be partaking in a 'Women v Cancer' cycle ride - a mere 400km across Cuba. The funds raised will be divided equally between: Breast Cancer Care, Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust and Ovarian Cancer Action.. some money will also be donated to help women fight cancer in Cuba....
So NOW all we need to do is ... get fit ... and raise £3,000 each.... Oh yes, and Alex will be losing weight too :-)
