Sponsor me for 40 mile bike ride round the cotswolds
Anyone fancy sponsoring me for doing a 40 mile bike ride on the 20th May??
Check out my sponsorship page at British Heart Foundation - My Sponsorship Page
I'm fundraising for the BHF to help beat heart disease.
Every year thousands of people die prematurely from heart disease. It remains the UK's single biggest killer and for the increasing number who survive, life can be frightening and hard.
The British Heart Foundation is the nation's heart charity. Every day they save lives through pioneering research, providing vital information to help people reduce their own heart health risks, campaigning for change and supporting and caring for heart patients.
By clicking on the link above you can check fundraising progress and forward the page to other people to help the BHF raise even more vital funds and save more lives.
Thank you for your support!
PS. Please do not forget to select the Gift Aid option if you are a UK taxpayer. It does not cost you any more but it will add 28p to each £1 you donate.
Cheers dudes
Andy

Get some padding on that seat if you can Andy !

I'm doing the 54mile Liverpool-Chester-Liverpool ride in July. Our team of 4 have paid the entry fee (profits of which go to Barnados) but we are not getting sponsored. Can't be bothered hunting down every man and his dog afterwards for the moola...
Good luck Fuzz

I'm back.
What a corking day it's been, met a few people I knew on the way and was relatively easy compared to how I remember it a few years back.
My "tank" seemed to perform very well.
maximum speed 45.0 mph
Average speed 9.6mph
Distance 40.03 miles (it was only 39.6 to the finish line but the carpark was far enough to make it the full 40 lol)
5hrs 2 mins including four twenty minute stops, (water in, icecream, water out, friends and familys house for tea and biscuits. )
and I didn't get off once and walk any of it, which I'm quite chuffed about as there were some gruelling hills in it.
I appeared to be the leader of the pack for the most part(of our group) surprising as the other lads go to the gym Monday, Wednesday and Fridays and also do some spin class once a week.
Me, I just sit in front of the pc every evening lol
85% of the bikes there were full suspension offroaders on knobblies !
Cheers for everyone's support today anyway.
Much appreciated.
Same again next year then.

I've had 55mph out of it in the past but got some serious speed wobble and was lucky not to have killed myself being as it was on the main A419 trunk road down Crickley hill

Nothing posh.
It's about ten years old I think.
a Barracuda Dropzone.
I took off the knobbly tyres and stuck on some anti puncture tourers and self sealing inner tubes to be on the safe side, still not slicks by any means though. They whirr nicely at those speeds.

Bloody hell, I was just looking on google for the link to this years main event page and this thread popped up
Being as I am in the middle of posting up this years "give me your money" thread on another forum... Here, have this one to update it here too.
COUGH
http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fuzz40mile
In aid of the British heart foundation, I do it every year but no one ever bothers sponsoring me.. (apart from you lot in 2007 )
Booooo
It's not that far I suppose but for an untrained fatty like me the climb is by no means easy
Thank you.
Last years climb :-/
