Brief Update - A week to go to the big ride.......

Evening All, Brief update tonight as I'm a day late updating the blog and conscious with less than 5 days till the big race I didn't have an update of this weekends events.
The August Bank Holiday weekend was an eventful one both training and spending time with the family. Myself and Ben G had an early start Sunday morning and headed out on a ride. We covered 38 miles with an average speed of 18.2mph in just over 2 hours. We did a new circuit I ha vent done before and it was excellent and something I would do again soon. I have talked abut it in previous blogs how flat the area is were we live. This is great for riding continuous with no let up.
The August Bank Holiday on the 31st always sees my dad and fay celebrate their birthdays so this year we had a shindig at ours on the Sunday afternoon. It was great to have the family together and felt like ages since we had last done it. The bad weather didn't stop us having a BBQ and a good time!!!
The Monday saw us head up to the coast and spend the day on the beach at Filey, having fish and chips on the front, ice cream for the girls and watching the RAF helicopter from Leconfield save someone who had fallen down the cliff edge, exiting stuff.
Well, 5 days till the big race, just going to take it easy this week, couple of gentle rides for 30mins or so to keep the legs ticking over but more importantly making sure I eat the right stuff. The hard work of training has been done now its just down to the day and the hope of some good weather and a good race. Until the next update.............
September Challenge - Minimum of 100 sit ups everyday.
