Not done a blog for quite a while so thought I would dust off the old blog writing cobwebs to fill you in on a bit of news.
First and foremost, it's only 17days to the big ride!! Monday 20th September, also known as D-DAY for the members of Alfie's Team, will see Rich, Elaine, Scott, Rich, Daz and myself setting off from Lands End, with our trusty support team; Sue, Tony and Emily! On the one hand, it feels like its been a long time in coming, but on the other it also feels like yesterday when me and Rich were sat in our parents living room coming up with this ridiculous plan.
The pre challenge nerves are kicking in with the team - 'Have I done enough training?', 'Will I be able to manage those hills?', Why can't I ride with my new pedals without falling off (only my concern I think!)?' But you get the gist of it!
Despite the nerves, we are all totally buzzing for the ride. Speaking purely from my own perspective, one of the main reasons for this is due to the amazing amount of money we have raised so far. We are so close to hitting £5800, which is incredible but I for one would like to make it to £6000 before we set off - ambitious I know but not if all of our friends donated just £1!
To make a donation go to www.justgiving.com/alfies-team and to keep up to date with more bike ride info go to www.alfiesteam.com
Thanks for your support guys and keep it coming!
Much love,
Helen and all of Alfie's Team
