London to Brighton Bike ride

[Jamlala]

Hi all

 

Am relatively new to the site but met a few of you over the weekend at various events. Just a scrouging mail basically. I'm doing the London to Brighton cycle ride on Sunday 21st June in aid of the British Heart Foundation, its 54 miles and I am currently in training so I don't make too much of an arse of myself on the day!

 

I lost my father 11 years ago at the age of 54 to a heart attack, and hence the reason I am supporting this very worthwhile charity. He had all the signs of a heart attack waiting to happen, overweight, smoked and drank too much and didn't excercise (other than work related as he was a farm animal vet in Wiltshire.)

 

If you have a couple of quid to spare I'd be very grateful to take it off you. If not then no worries either. Just go to my donation website which is BHF Main events site - James Woodbridge's Fundraising Page .

 

Thanks all and hope my sore arse will be worthwhile lol

Good luck with the cycle James

Just done the Hadrian's wall walk for the BHF yesterday one year and a day after my heart surgery. The BHF help research and support sufferers of heart disease like me as no one can live without a heart so a very worthy cause.

Hats off to you for that!! They do organise some cracking events all over the country, its only the London to Brighton that is the most well known.

Very funny.......i'm originally from Brighton and the only sore arse i got was from worms.........well thats what i say anyway........................i did this ride when i was a nipper, at the time i was one of the youngest to do it, about 13 yrs if i remember correctly. Its a fun day out and even if you're not in tip top shape you'll get through it, unless they've changed the route, its got some amazing downhill sections that are well needed, not too good going up ditchling beacon i think it is towards the end!!!!!!!!!!!!
