I'm getting into serious training mode now, so I come here asking for sponsorship, this place has always been generous to me.

I have set a target of £500, Please help me reach it, I will in return turn myself inside out for 65 miles on the day and be nailing myself in every single ride between now and then.

    Good effort! I saw some of your youtube videos and that convinced me to do the ride this year too on behalf of childrens meningitis.

    Good luck :D

    What kind of average speed are you looking at? and will you be doing a return leg?

    Considering doing it myself, but lack cycling buddies at the moment.

    To do it in my target time of 3 hours, i'll need to average just over 20 Mph, I have managed to get my average upto 19.5 mph at best, at the moment, wont be cycling back no, as I am gonna put everything I have into passing that average MPH target.

    Next year however, who knows :D
