As the riders prepare for the challenge, we will follow them through their training diaries, practice rides and other aspects of their training. Already members of the team have completed such rides as riding Cambridge to Norwich and Chelmsford to Folkestone.

| Rich, Alex and Katie on their Norwich to Cambridge Ride |
Riders Alex Yorke, Katie Rellis and Richard McLellan rode from Norwich to Cambridge for a VTCC meeting, a smooth ride that was relatively uneventful. It was only when they had arrived safely at CUOTC's TA Centre and Katie left her bike only to find after a loud bang that the tire had burst! Only a small inconvenience, it is through these practice rides that the team can begin to see what needs to be worked on, be it their cycling kit or physical skills.
Other significant rides have been completed by Alex Yorke, when he cycled from Chelmsford to Folkestone for the CUOTC's annual Shooting Camp. As the rest of the contingent for the camp 'rode' down in minibuses Alex managed to cycle approximately 112 miles and only arrived about 2 hours later then the rest. He seemed on pretty good form, with the only minor issue being the rather interesting sunburn on his legs! Well done Alex for both the ride and the marksmanship badge he achieved by the end of the week!
Upcoming next...
Training diaries of the riders, more accounts of their longer practice rides as well as some information about sponsorship and the charity itself.
