Tomorrow I will be doing the below route. This is more a family event, and my 10 year old daughter is doing it. Not the 25 miles we are suppose to be doing. http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/.documentlibrary?get=2289 Also looking at doing something to raise money for the local Wild life park, as they rely on this sort of thing. Thinking of doing 100 miles a day for 5 days and staying somewhere over night. In between. Thinking of doing this in October/November. Anyone fancy doing the same for their own charity?

I would add to this and say we should be 11th/12th.

Ha hahaha, how have I missed this 4th my arse. ALL the teams in the semi are better than us. Most of the others that got knocked out in the quarter apart from Greece.

Credit Manager, and it bores the pants off me, but it is what I have been doing for the last 14 years so what I know. Just looking to move jobs within credit, but also going on a Pastry Chef course and looking to move into this area, as this is where my passion is.... Well in cooking/catering. I do go between feeling lucky I have a well paid job to thinking this is terrible.

It was some wonderful advice to take a few days off from cycling. I took Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off, and had a massage on Wednesday lunch time which was really good. Yesterday was a fantastic cycle though the back roads in the lovely evening sunshine, felt so much better after the break. Only down side was Mrs Dr Who and her chain coming off and managing to get into a tangle! Cycled 13 miles and it was really easy, I am amazed that 10-15 miles is really stright forward and I am hoping up to 35-40 miles will be easy by the time of the ride, but I am sure at some point we will hit a wall on the day. I am off again for a quick 13 mile cycle, before the great Indian take away night, where we eat what we blinking well like. Cheers Kev

Well I have to say this is the 3rd day without a cycle, and a feel good for it. I do have to say though that I have missed it a lot. Going for a massage this afternoon, and then we will both be back on the road tomorrow evening. Please read the charity page, our blog, and give if you can for what is a really good cause. http://www.childhoodfirst.org.uk/ http://simcycling.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/midweek-cycle-ride-number-4-horrible.html http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=simsgocycling&isTeam=true Thanks for reading

Now is that yellow and red stripes, or is there red and grey, or is it classed as a all yellow top? So many answers required. I'll buy it!
-
I am resting, today, Tuesday and Wednesday, and we will get back on the bike on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Cheers for the advice.

I have to say after cycling for about an hour I need to stand up cycle for a few minutes, just to get the feeling back in that area. I get pins and needles down there. Still all in a good cause. Cannot believe I am starting week 6 of 16 in my training this week. This means only 10 weeks left until the event. I hope he weather picks up! Taking a break now until Thursday on the advice above. May look to get a massage at some point, just as a treat. Pleae do not forget to give towards this wonderful cause. http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=simsgocycling&isTeam=true I think the ladies 'pink board are winning in donations', Hmmm.

Nice cycle today around Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire today. Seemed a little off the pace with an average of 10 mph. Covered 20 miles and the stopping point was the Jester pub, where we had our anniversary carvery, to celebrate 7 years of marriage. Good day in all, but the legs were aching all through the cycle, think this was down to the gig on Friday and the hour on the exercise bike yesterday.

Fashion & cycling....

I like it. I will not get the white one as I seem to this way of making it turn grey after a few washes! The red one is very smart, and we have had a couple of all red kits in the past, one of them was durning our centenary season. Ok it had white shoulders, but it was not red and white stripes! Looking forward to seeing this kit on the pitch... COYR!
-
Used to do this, with this very site on match days, during the second half on the bike! We have a tv on the wall and I do watch Spooks at the moment, still a little behind ploughing through series 9. Going to get on the bike for 60 minutes in a minute, as we are having an Indian takeaway tonight! Then tomorrow back out on the road for a 30 miler!
-
Also easier to fit into an evening. Managed to get out today for an hour, and did a 14 mile spin around my normal route. Head winds again causing problems on the final part of the route. felt good though. Right off to see the Stone Roses in Manchester now, but driving!!
-
Anyone got any ideas of how to make the exercise bike more interesting? I did only 45 minutes today, not because I was shattered, but I got bored! Apart from people running past me with scenery, listening to music and watching tv..... Boring. Same again tomorrow as not going to get out until Sunday.
-
So just you and me, oh and Franks cousin!

Saturday 30th June

That makes it look horrible, but still does not look that far. More worries about the breaks failing on the way back down!!

A few that mentioned being interested in cycling on here, I have put a page on the general sport section of the web. Perhaps we could put this sort of thing in here as well. peoples cycle experiences and routes, along with things we could do with interested Saints fans. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?38513-Southampton-fans-cycling Not got out on my bike since Sunday, with work and other commitments that means I have been stuck in with the kids or refereeing. But I have been on the stationary bike for 75 minutes on Monday and will be on it again tonight, before a hour (12 miles) on the road tomorrow, ahead of the 30 miles on Sunday. Please continue to donate and pass this information on as it really does motivate us. ALSO remember that we have compitition from my wife and her 'pink board' (mums and teachers) forum. She thinks that she will raise more from her people on there compared to on here! Whoever donates I will buy you a pink when I see you at a game on on a cycle mission!! COYSW!!!!!! http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=simsgocycling&isTeam=true Thanks for reading

Would be fantastic to get a group of us to do the two of these over a long (blank/international) weekend, or during next summer? They look good, and even though up hill, quite short, and fun on the way down. What is the surface, road or off road?
-
I like Celtic, and prefer them over Rangers, but Dundee U are my favourite Scottish team as I went up to Dundee to watch them play Aberdeen when I was 17. Just decided to go up for the day and back again. Madness. Might try and win that bid. 89/90 has nothing to do with Saints and Celtic.... Odd!
-
Also there is a battle going on between my wife's bosrd (which is nicknamed the pink board), but is the old TES teachers and mother board, so women only, and the Saints Board. I think the saints board are winning at the moment, but it is close. So of course I am going to say this, but come on lads don't let the missus win

Hey BadgerX16, Thank you for your fantastic donation, and it really does keep us motivated, and for 3 weeks it stood still, but the last couple of days have been great. There are some fantastic rides out there that I want to do, but only can do so many. I think the really big climbs are for when I have a road bike, as at the moment only have a mountain bike, as we are only just starting out. But I can see myself challenging myself more and more in the future and all for a good cause.
