15th July 2012 – London to Southend Bike Ride After training for months, the time finally came to ride the 52 miles from Victoria Park, London to Priory Park, Southend. It started well and I was up at 4.30am (alarm set for 5am and 5.30am but just kept waking up). I had some breakfast, showered and was ready to go. The train was at 6.54am so I’d left home at 6.10am, cycled down to the station and waited for Gary Jones and Paul Heasley to join me. I’d got chatting to another guy waiting at the station for the train too with his bike, when I suddenly realised I’d left the second most important piece of equipment at home – my water bottles. So I phoned Laura and she very kindly brought them down to the station, after getting a not so pleased Adam out of bed. We got on the train […]

I’m doing the London to Southend bike ride on 14th July 2012, with some friends.

I started cycling again recently to loose weight and get fit. So the challenge to ride the 52 miles is a little daunting, but with your support I know I can do it.

I would appreciate it if you would consider sponsoring me. All proceeds go to the British Heart Foundation.
