Story

HI there. I think it's obvious what I'm here for and why, and the team page says it all!

Rather than raise money for BHF - I mean that's obvious having had open heart surgery, so yesterday! - I wanted to raise money for something smaller, something local, and with my Beers, Gears and Tears pal we decided on Cash for Kids.

Good luck Richard. Bruises only take a few hours to get better (for the Welsh anyway).
So back on your bike tomorrow I reckon 👍🚴

Good luch Richard and team, I am sure resilience you possess you will definitely do it.. enjoy the journey, it is well said that - journey and worth trying is more important than the destination.

This week I came off the bike and bruised my ribs! So training has stopped on the bike, not on the beers though.

Add to that injury, I was out on the first 100k and got bitten by something, horsefly I guess as I've been bitten by one before when I was out trail running. My leg swelled up something rotten, was bright red, hot, and clearly infected! The bite was lovely and oozing.

Slightly less graphic photos, two on the left of my bite, one on the right of the leg post crash. There's absolutely no bruising visible on my upper body, but the pain! Takes me right back to post open heart surgery!

Training has been going well. This year I got to 55k and then started upping that. Then 58k, 60k, 75k, 99k (I couldn't believe it either!), then I broke 100k!
