International Great Cycle Challenge - raising money to fight kids cancer

250km done, 150km to go!


The rest of the week is tricky as I have commitments in the evening for the next three days so I'm going to try and fit in some sneaky 10km rides and then hopefully smash it out over the weekend - which is also my daughter's birthday...

At the end of the day, it’s a bit of fun and novelty to encourage donations to a good cause. There are more important things than getting to the actual km target.

Enjoy your daughters birthday.

Of course I will :)

It just means an Ash Ridesday,
 
Last ride for the month this morning and last for the challenge. It's always good to kick up the fitness and get some funds for a good cause.

I've not been able to go for another ride due to multiple commitments - they give you the opportunity to catch up next month so I'll be doing that.
 
I'm on 300km now - I'll aim to get to the 400km mark before I go away on holiday!
 
50km done so far - still dialling in the fit on the gravel bike. Still a little heavy on the hands, I'll push the seat aft a little and drop the saddle, maybe even swap a spacer to drop the stem slightly.

Also, I hate 2x gearing, it's a pain switching between the chainrings and avoiding cross chain.

Dropping the stem will typically put more weight on the hands, might be better moving it up a smidge if possible. Moving the saddle rearward might help though, easy thing to try.

I just noticed a slip dip in the saddle, I'll see if I can level it better and see how I go. I have 20 or so rides to tweak this to perfection!
 
3 days in and I'm at 125 km. Already beat last month's pitiful 80 odd ks.

I think I'll need to up my target from 200 km... 😁

I too will post my details near the donation matching day for anyone that's in a position to help out the kids. Might as well make it the most profitable day!
