The challenge: Ride 100 miles in the Prudential Ride London 2014
How I got involved: I'll be honest, this wasn't my idea, for a little fun Adam decided to sign me up for this challenge along with a few other avid cyclists. I happened to be the one person out of the group who didn't have bike, I also happened to be the only one who got a place. I've taken it on the chin and now have all the necessary gear so I'm cycling it on the 10th of August.
A great opportunity to raise a little money for a lovely local charity who fund-raises to make peoples lives better with the help of a four legged friend.
Please sponsor me whatever you can, every penny is very much appreciated. Thank you so much xx Em
