Time for a challenge

It’s been a while since I posted here - this time it’s to keep myself on track with my training plan for a charity bike ride I’ve signed up for. A group of us will be cycling from Broughty Ferry Lifeboat Station to Killin and back over 3 days next May, to raise money for the Lifeboat Fund. The final day is 77 miles, and the furthest I’ve done in a day is 62 so I fully intend to stick as closely as I can to the training plan. So far it’s going okay, but let’s see how I get on over the winter months!
I’m also planning on losing a bit of weight (always helps on the hills!) so expect foodie pics and a weekly weigh in...current weight is 68.1kg and I’m targeting 65 so nothing too arduous hopefully!

At the moment we’re in the prep phase of training which means I have the option of non cycling cardio, so I’m planning on getting back to swimming, and my gym card’s finally getting some use at a weekly spin class. I’ve also treated myself to some new cycling gear to get me through the winter months.

Training plan and new cycle tights 👍

Still fiddling about with the technology, but I think I’ve added a donation button to my page if anyone  would like to sponsor me 😎
