MACRIDE @ Silverstone 30 August 2010 - Training Day 1

1 minute read time.

Ok

So I am a 46 year old, not very fit mum who has decided to join her lovely hubby Steve, step son Dan and daughter Chloe on a sponsored bike ride around the track at Silverstone, Northants...

I have a bike, I have some time this morning and I am off for my first day of training... seeing as I haven't been on my bike for over 2 years... I think a gentle ride to the park and back is my first target... it is mainly flat and mostly away from roads.

I will be posting the occasional updates on here as whilst not about the progress of my son, it is about my progress in doing something and giving back to Macmillan... I am hoping that as a little team of 4 we manage to raise £500... in ddition we have some family members who are going to do little bike rides on the same day to raise money, namely our two grandchildren Lewis 6 and Macie 5.... who aim to cycle twice around their local park... with their mum Gemma also getting into the saddle to keep them safe...

If anyone lives near to Derby my hubby Steve is in serious training, he aims to do 10 x 3 miles circuits at Silverstone in 2 hr and 10 min... so if you are or know a cyclist who might like to train with him at weekends or evenings please get in touch... if you are an unfit pootling sort of rider nearby and fancy some gentle training with me, then also get in touch...

If anyone wants to join in the MACRIDE @ Silverstone they are taking entries now at £5.00 per rider and numbers are limited so get your application in now...

Wish me luck...  I am off in half an hour! Jules x
