Mammoth training ride - 40 miles!
23rd May 2013
Yesterday Amanda completed a pretty mammoth training ride with her friend Jim.
They did a 40 mile ride in 3 and a half hours! This is an incredible achievement and indicates that all of the amazing hard work Amanda is putting into her training is definitely paying off.
"We headed out via wolverton, haversham and hanslope but once we reached Hartwell we started heading towards roade, once we reached towcester I had guessed the tea break Jim promised me wasn't going to happen, we then came back via whittlebury and deanshanger. And I didn't get any tea break!!! The last hill slog into whaddon was hard work but I still managed a walk less than an hour after getting back and no sore muscles today which is a result!!
My average cycle time was quicker too which may have been helped by the leg wax I had just before the ride, thanks to Emily!!!!!!" (AMANDA)
Thanks to Jim, and Emily for their help with this awesome training ride. With exactly 2 weeks till push off we are still looking for any sponsorship people feel able to donate.
Thank you all so much for supporting the team!
