Keep up…..

Get your helmets on and your padded shorts at the ready; its time to saddle up for the first cycling event of the campaign! This Sunday sees us experiencing the UK’s largest charity bike ride.

Since 1980 when the British Heart Foundation first became involved with the London to Brighton Bike Ride, over 650,000 riders have taken part in the event and more than £40 million has been raised. This year as many as 27,000 riders will be cycling the scenic route between London and Brighton on the south coast. But how will we fair!?!

We’ll be joining the masses for a 9.30am start at Clapham, from there we’ll set off on the 54 mile journey south with nothing but man power, plenty of energy drinks and hopefully sunshine to keep us company. The route will take us roughly 4.5 hrs. Providing we can do all that without incurring injuries or too many flat tyres, we will arrive in Brighton where they will be greeted by thousands of spectators (as long as its not taken us too long to finish).

As we’ve previously blogged, this event is one of a number that the we are participating in this summer to raise money for UNICEF (click here). We’re doing this in the hope that people will show their support by leaving comments and sponsorship. Check back here on Monday for pictures and times.

Thanks and remember – don’t forget to be awesome.
