Piling on the miles

So now I know what the guys at Kilotogo have to go through to organise a sportive!  Well not exactly, the test track cycle ride wasn't quite on the same scale, but took some organising none the less.  As a result I have a new found respect for anyone involved in the organisation of cycling events for us all to enjoy.

We had a beautiful day for it and a good turn out too, but we were all suprsised to raise over £400 for Birmingham Children's Hospital!  That pushes our grand total up to £1,472 - well over half way to our target of £2,000.

I managed 64 miles during the three and a half hours I was cycling for and need to tally up the grand total mileage in order to figure out who has won the prize for guessing the grand total.  I will update you on that later this week along with a link to the photos from Fridays track ride.  Here are a couple of preview pic in the mean time.
