2009 Challenges

I want to look back at 2009 in over a years time and think "you know what, I had a good year and one to remember" so I have set myself an "impossible" task of competing in the British Heart Foundation 54 mile London to Brighton cycle ride. Possible for a lager lout, fat teen to do it? Well some mates have laughed, but i'd love to turn round this time next year and think, shyte I did it.

Anyone else going to set a challenge?

I will bump this up in June when it's completed i'm sure.

Just interested to see if others have thought of stuff to do?

 

54 mile cycle from london to brighton... tempting!
i have no challenges set but come the start of the year might rustle up a few ideas

 

Good on ya, Cude!

 

I might do it too Cude. Apparently it's a piece of pyss.

 

It's all downhill

 

I heard its wheely wheely fun.

 

its very tire-ing

 

I'm sure we could raise a few quid to sponsor you. Everyone will Raleigh round.

 

I think it'll be quite easy if you take it seriously. 54 miles isn't that much and on a decent bike you should be able to do it. Best if you go in a group so you can share the wind resistance.

 

There maybe a group of us doing it from work, but I reckon a few will drop out when signing up comes.

To be honest they'll probably use me as the wind block!

 

Nooo, you don't want to saddle yourself with that role.

 

That's true, I'll have to gear myself up for the trek though.

 

It won't be easy and your training could get derailleured

 

You spook to soon!

 

Well, obviously, if your training involves cycling to the pub. Take a brake from the booze.

 

I think I can Handle Bars with my bike outside.

 

Make sure you lock it up so you it doesn't get nicked wheel you're in there.

 

I will I'm a specialized cyclist.

 

I saw this said person Inner Tube this morning. Wonder if he got away?

 

You should have kicked him in the trick-nuts.

 

I don't think anyone would be Keirin enough to stop him.

 

I was Kona say something but then I thought... Fork it!

 

Indeed, there is no need to tricycle and stop him.

 

I would have said something eventulaay, after i built up the suspension

 

Get a Grip you ruined that with poor spelling.

 

Shall I edit and chains it now?

 

Cude, you utter bell.

 

LOL. He's a wicker basket case.

 

Don't get Cranky now Proud.

 

haha good on you cude though i shall steer clear

 

save a big hill in brighton, this is possibly the easiest sporting event in the history of the world. you ould seriously do it tomorrow with absolutely no preparation

 

I take it you'll be signing up then??

 

why would you take that?

 

I got inspired by these guys a few months back and I just found my 'things to do before I die list' and doing the London to Brighton is on there...

Whilst it may not be in 2009 I will set myself an absolute limit of doing it by 2011.

 

Well, hey shyte I said i'd do something. Isn't quite the 54 Miles to Brighton, however I'm doing a 50 mile cycle in the North Downes. 4 miles less I know, however this will be far more challenging as it's hilly!

Doing this for Autism, more for the reason I have a relative who has it and know of all the hell he goes through on a daily basis and how it has ruined his life.

In the coming weeks i'll set up one of those accounts on justgiving.com if anyones interested in sponsoring? (and if this is allowed by Admin?)

Bumped this to show I was serious. Anyone else doing Charity events?
