Probably the hardest post I've had to make, but here goes......
My mum passed away on Saturday morning, after her brave battle with cancer. I decided to pull out of the BHF Worcester Ride, on Sunday, as it would have been dangerous for me to attempt it in the state I was in.
After a tough few days of sorting things out, I did a short but much needed ride today, for a bit of thinking time and to clear the head.
I headed out to Upton Magna, Withington, Rodington, Roden, Poynton, Bings Heath and back to Upton Magna, retracing my steps home.
It was lovely and warm, but quite breezy by the end of the ride.
23 miles at 12.5 mph avg
I plan to arrange a 50 mile route with @Rickshaw Phil as my own BHF ride, sometime over the coming few weeks, when things like funeral are out of the way. That way I will feel happy that I achieved something for all of the sponsorship that I have collected (£495)
I would like to thank people on here for their support and kind messages about mum over the past 6 months.
Cycling is going to be very high up on the list of things that will get me through this
