First of all can I thank you for all your support in 2012 for our Brum to Wembley event. We raised over £20,485.16 thanks to all your generosity and smashed our original target.
This years plan is to jump on some organised events throughout the year and raise some serious cash for our inspirational Harry Moseley Charity. We have another BIG event in mind for 2014. So we are using 2013 as a year long training session for this bad boy journey. Lol.
So far we have booked on "the Mad March Hare" (74 miles) and booking up on a Monster 100 mile event in Stratford-upon-Avon. see links below
As you are all aware we are not professionals in the least when it comes to cycling and as previous blogs show we get easily distracted by things such as pubs, beer, pies and anything else which stops us from becoming athletes. So I'm sure 2013 will be as eventful as 2012.
So let's get this thing rolling.
After a lot of Facebook & twitter chat all week between some of the team regarding whether and when people can get out, we still don't have a clue when we are getting out. Standard!!!
Some people could only do Saturday and some only Sunday. Myself and Tom decided on the Saturday (as snow was due on that evening) putting Sunday out of the question for a spin.
We spotted that @cultracing (bike shop) was trying to get numbers together for a Saturday morning spin. Tom and myself decided to pop along to try it out. I didn't tell my wife as I'm banned from the shop. Last time I went there (just to look at the bikes) I ended up with a new road bike, pedals, shoes, water bottle and cage. Thus maxing the credit card out to my wife's horror. Lol. (It's only money Honey, LOVE YOU) #hopeshebroughtthat
7.30am Tom came to my house to pick me up. We were buzzing at the fact we were getting out again but also a bit nervous due to not being on a bike since the start of December. The festive period has caused us to gain a few rolls and will surely have an impact on our "so called" fitness.
Bikes loaded in the van, we headed off to @cultracing shop in Earlswood (nice plug or what?)
We hit the M42 for two junctions and we could not see a thing due to the sudden down pour of snow. Are we going to get there and the ride is called off? We arrived at the shop and met a few of the other riders. All waiting for the gaffas Paul & Mel to decide to go ahead or not. The decision was "ALL GO". Only down to Mel quoting shop rule no.5
Which is "stop being a wimp and harden the @£*+ up"
Who was we to argue with that!!!!
We quickly posed for a team photo for @cultracing (I'm good at this plugging stuff) and off we set.
