setting myself a challenge

[stephen.rooke]

My challenge is to ride from our Basingstoke office to our Paris office over 3 days in early September with a few experienced cyclists, including a ferry crossing. I only started cycling a few weeks ago and 250 miles over 3 days seemed an absurdly difficult target and I could hardly believe I got talked into it. But I've done 40 miles today in my second week with a road bike and I'm beginning to see the goal as achievable.

i want to be doing 100mi rides next summer, will see how things progress

Mine was a wager that i could,nt do a 1000 miles in a year. so far 994 down, and now the wager is double or quits, 2 pints for 2000 miles and the wife will chuck in a bag of crisps for a further 12 miles, MMmmmm 2012 in 2012.
