Tour of Rockingham Forest
Jun 28, 2009
I’m sitting writing this with a small amount of anxiety. It’s just gone 8am and I’m about to get myself ready for a bike ride around the villages of Rockingham Forest. The event has been organised to raise awareness and money for The British Heart Foundation. Jon and I are using it as our first big training session together, as there are some nice rolling hills over the 25 mile course.
We’ve managed to persuade some of our colleagues to join us to try and raise a bit of cash for The British Heart Foundation, as Jon and I want to focus our fundraising efforts on our Isle of Man event in September.
I’m anxious because, since starting my training a couple of weeks ago, I’ve only completed short rides of around 4-6 miles! However, I’m sure that with the support of some friendly faces from work, we’ll get round the course, eventually!
We’ll have a full report, with photos, up in the week.

Ah comeon bro it’ll be a laugh :p
I’m excited and nervous! :)
Well, we made it! Finally. It started off being really hard work but after the first five miles we settled in and got there in the end. There were a few issues with my bike, so it’ll be off for a service this week, but overall it was a really great day! Thanks to everyone at Bluestone Creative that joined us for the ride
Well done guys! Glad you made it round without too many mechanical (or medical) issues!
