Story
In memory of my dear pal Ad, I'm wiping the dust off my creaky old bike and attempting this 54 mile bike ride! I did it in 2008 (when I was a sprightly 27 and a LOT fitter) and found it pretty tough. I'm still haunted by one particularly evil hill. But this time round I'll have my fellow A-Teamers riding alongside me - Hannah and Jemma - and the best motivation I can think of: doing Adam proud and raising lots of cash for his CF Trust project. Thank you so much for your support. Alex xxUpdates
London to Brighton - done!
1st October 2018Thank you all SO MUCH for all your support leading up to and on the day. I like to think that as fairly inexperienced cyclists, we smashed it! Our time was 7h 54 and we took at least 90 mins off to inhale boiled eggs/flapjacks/pasta and to share stories of our beloved Adam. So that's 55 miles in just over 6 hours...not too shabby!
But most importantly, you've helped me raise £3,200.50 for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust! I can't quite believe it. When I raised my target to £3000 I never dreamed I'd hit it. Thank you so much for helping me do Adam proud. xx
