The inner monologue of a cyclists

Having done plenty of bike rides recently and not been able to upload photo of the rides we decided to share some of our thoughts while out riding. Cycling can take you to some strange and wonderful places...

Oh man this is going to be a long ride. I could do a little less, if I don't go up that road. Hmmmm. No for goodness sake you're out no, just get on with it. The sooner you get going the sooner you get back for a brew.

Right that hill. The hill is the key. It'll be ok after the hill.

If I lie here, If I just lay herrrrre. Would you lie with me and just forget the world. Lets waste time, chaaasing cars. Around our head. 

Countdown was a great show. Who presents that now? I'll have a P please Bob, ha! Hold on, that's not right.

Bloody hell this hill is steep!

If you go any slower you'l fall of the bike! Don't look up, don't look up. Just cycle until you get there. Oh bloody hell I knew I shouldn't have looked up! How can I be peddling this hard and not go anywhere!

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I love being at the top of a hill! Downhill here I come! Oh that's fast. Very fast. Too fast! Oh Sh1t! Brake brake brake brake brake! Urrgh I'm in too high a gear.

Half way to tea.

Des Lynam did countdown for a while but I don't think he does it now. Is countdown even on now?

Wind. Oh no don't get windy!

That car hasn't seen me. Don't pull out! Look! I'm in a bright yellow top you HAVE to see me!! Good, he saw me. Man it's got to hurt hitting a car on a bike.

I can't wait for a cup of tea.

Carol Vorderman doesn't do it now either. What happened to Countdown?

The Sum coming up easy as the rain cam tumbling down. Comin up easy, not on this hill.

Bloody hills. It's not even a hill, it's barely a slope I'm just knackard.

Home! Tea... awesome!

Suggestions welcome

So far we have spoken to Compassion in World Farming and Operation Smile. Both charities are delighted to support the 3 Peaks Cycle Challenge and will be helping in every way they can.

Training is going well for the team and each member is working on fitness, something that's pretty tricky this time of year.

Plenty of events coming up for certain members, half marathons, marathons, half iron man triathlon and plenty more random but fun filled ways to get ready for the challenge. If you come across any events that you think would be a fun way to train / to get ready for the event please post on this blog.

Assault causes, endurance events, triathlons... all suggestions welcome!

The Team...

We are proud to announce the team for The 3 Peaks Cycle Challenge!

Each has a page dedicated to them and a small amount of information about them. We'll be telling you a bit more about each person as we go along and they'll be keeping you up to date with fund raising, training and any other information you might need!
