How did I find myself signed up for this? Well I signed up because in part I didn’t really understand what I was signing up to, but mostly because I am cycling for the charity BEAT. BEAT is a charity that is dedicated to helping both those who suffer from eating disorders and their families and carers.
Elliott Wood the company I work for and who are sponsoring me on this escapade are raising funds for BEAT by supporting a number of charity events this year after founding partner Paul Wood sadly lost his daughter, Anna, on 26th March 2010 as a result of her anorexia. She was 15 years old.
So I find myself joining Gary Elliott, another founding partner of Elliott Wood, on this crazy trip. Hopefully we can raise some loot on the way.
So only one thing for it now, get on a bike and get the miles in – no particular training plan – It’s too late and besides I have a job, a wife and a two year old son – I don’t have two hours a day to go ‘hill training’. I’m just going to ride furiously, everywhere, and hope for the best.
