Not doing that one mate, but a 50 mile route in the Farnham Charity Bike Ride, raising money for the local hospice, where Dad passed away last year.

Good luck in yours though

You too, mate !

How did you get on ?

I completed mine in just over 4 hours, which I thought was a good effort considering the heat (25+ and sunny from about 11am !)

Hi mate, thanks for asking!

Did the 50 miles in 3 hours, 20 minutes. A few too many hills for me, espeically in the last 10 miles!!

I've reviewed the ride and found that I'm pretty good on hills and crap on the flat - i.e. I blitzed past many others on the ascent, and then switched off on the flat - and they overtook me again!!!

Still, just asbout £500 raised for the local hospice

Good stuff !!!

I am the opposite - good on the flat (and mad on descents) but pants at climbing... on my way to shedding a couple of stone to help with that ;-)
