Southend Bikeathon 2011

A quick mention for a great end of season sponsored ride.  And one that is dear to my heart as it was the first sponsored ride I did when I got back in cycling several years ago.  As you will see from the photographs, this is not a ride I use my road bike for, but one where I hook up my daughter’s trailer bike to an old Rayliegh that I have.  This is the second year that she has done it.  This was though something of a bitter-sweet ride as next year she will probably do it on her own bike.  But I think I will still use the Raylieigh and trailer bike, but with one her large cuddly toys on the back.

So who am I? Someone who rediscovered the pure joy of cycling early in 2007 after many, many years of not riding a bike. I started this blog back then when I signed up to take part in the London to Southend bike ride. The idea was to keep a log of my training. However, I decided to keep it going not only to record my training, but to also write about other things related to cycling and about my own rides. The blog may be of little interest to anyone else, but I like it which, I guess, is all that matters really. But if you do stumble across it and read it, thank you for taking the time and trouble for doing so.
