We are a group of friends who have come together through our love of cycling! ❤️🚴‍♀️

We will be cycling from Calais to Arnhem from 4/06-8/06 to show our respects to those who fought and died during the two world wars and since.

So today we took on the 66 mile Etape Loch Ness and it was brutal with a 4.25 mile climb with 12-15% average incline around halfway.

There was lots and lots of short but sharp hills to really sap the energy from the legs.

Sadly we lost Kate around 27 miles in due to illness. Lindsey and Nicole carried on to finish the ride in 5:52:54. It was good to see Kate (looking so much better) and Nat at the finish to welcome us across the finish line.

Today Angela, Kate, Lindsey and myself had a little 15 mile training ride over the North Wessex Downs. We had a cold wind, rain and hale on the ride. We had lots of fun and games climbing up hills and speeding down them like a bunch of kids.

Check out my last training session. 🚴‍♀️👍

This session hurt as I was working outside my comfort zone in readiness for our first build up event, Etape Loch Ness at the end of April.

The other members of the tram are all doing their own training and this Sunday we are doing a group ride.

Two of us aka Nikki and Kate made the most of the sunshine today and went out for a 13 mile ride including some hill training for our up and coming Loch Ness ride in April :

Two of us were able to take advantage of the sunshine today with a small gravel ride (including some tricky muddy bits through woods)
